Broadway Grosses: Audiences Explore Fall Offerings Bernhardt/Hamlet & The Nap

It's not just the sudden chill in the Theatre District air: fall has arrived on the Great White Way with the beginning of preview performances for Bernhardt/Hamlet and The Nap. Audiences ventured to the American Airlines Theatre to watch Janet McTeer play Sarah Berhardt playing Hamlet and to the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre to get familiar with the world of snooker. Straight White Men ended its run on September 9, making $382,324 in its last week. For top five regular Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the play's the thing; the magical two-part play raked in $2,042,596. Eight more plays will begin performances before the year is out, including The Lifespan of a Fact, The Waverly Gallery, The Ferryman, American Son, Torch Song, To Kill a Mockingbird, Network and True West.
