Broadway's 'Death of a Salesman' and 'Cats: The Jellicle Ball' both closed their runs with record-breaking weekly grosses, while 'Every Brilliant Thing' also posted a strong final week ahead of its own closure. The strong finishes come despite 'Jellicle' closing five months earlier than planned, a move that sparked industry debate about production costs and the difficulty of landing a big musical hit, and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber said he was "gutted" by the closure.

'Cats: The Jellicle Ball' grossed $1,828,306 in its final week at the Broadhurst, up $422,597 on the prior week's then-record, playing to standing-room-only crowds at an average ticket price of $193.92. 'Death of a Salesman', starring Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, sold out the Winter Garden and took $2,509,387, its best week yet, while 'Every Brilliant Thing', starring Tracee Ellis Ross, brought in $886,815, a rise of $229,364, though still short of the takings under previous stars Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay. Overall, Broadway's 29 shows grossed $33,716,025 for the week, roughly level with the previous week and 9% up year-on-year, with total attendance of 257,464.
