For the second straight week, Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt” broke its own house record, as it grossed $1,158,050.70 for the week ending Oct. 23.

The week prior, the production broke the $1 million mark for the first time, when it grossed $1,095,528.50 and set the house record at the Longacre Theatre for a new play.

Across Broadway for the week ending Oct. 23, the 28 productions playing grossed $28,585,160, down 0.13% from last week. Capacity was at 90%, down 0.87%.

The three highest-grossing productions were “The Music Man,” “Hamilton” and “MJ.” Of the 28 productions, 12 played to 95% or greater capacity.
