"Hamilton" Still Commands A Full House, And Makes Around $2M A Week

At this Sunday’s Tony Awards ceremony, the original cast of “Hamilton,”the Pulitzer-winning musical about the life of the eponymous American Founding Father, will reunite to mark the 10th anniversary of the production that’s had Broadway in a vice grip since its early summer 2015 performances. 

Across almost 10 years, there have been more than 3,450 performances of “Hamilton” on Broadway, almost all of which have been at capacity, per figures from the Internet Broadway Database. And, though the average ticket isn’t quite as pricey as it was at late 2010s peaks, the musical is still raking it in. 

With eight shows a week almost always sold-out and an average ticket price of about $180, Hamilton is taking nearly $1.9 million a week on average this year. All told, Lin Manuel Miranda’s magnum opus has racked up more than $1 billion on Broadway — a milestone it cracked in January. No wonder Ferrell and co. want to have another go at treading the boards.
