All In: Comedy About Love, the Simon Rich play with a revolving Broadway cast, broke the Hudson Theatre house record last week, with more than a little help from Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon’s brief stint in the production – his one-week performance ended February 2 – saw the weekly grosses jump by a huge 46% over the previous week, landing at $2,080,707, easily topping the Hudson’s previous house record of $170,865 set by the 2022 Sarah Jessica Parker-Matthew Broderick production of Plaza Suite.
The late-night talk host’s appearance also seems to have driven up ticket prices for the show: The average ticket price was $268.69, twice the price of nearly every other show on Broadway, including big musicals like Gypsy starring Audra McDonald and Disney’s The Lion King.
Costarring during Fallon’s week were Aidy Bryant, Nick Kroll, and Lin-Manuel Miranda (Miranda plays through February 16 with David Cross, Tim Meadows, and Annaleigh Ashford; Hank Azaria will step into the production from February 11 through 16.)
The $2,080,707 gross was the second biggest on Broadway last week, behind the massively popular Wicked ($2,319,735).
