Billboard magazine, which charts business activity throughout the world of entertainment, named Atlanta’s Fox Theatre as the number-one worldwide top-grossing venue in its newly-released chart for venues with capacity of 5,000 seats or fewer.
The theatre is known for its Broadway Series that brings in major touring Broadway shows, including MJ, Aladdin and Hamilton. But the theatre also hosts a busy year-round schedule of concerts and comedy shows.
For the period Oct. 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, Billboard reported that Fox’s
110 shows sold a combined 434,000 tickets and earned a combined $34.5 million—the most of any theatre in its category.
The news follows the April announcement that Six, the Broadway musical about the lives of the six wives of England’s Henry VIII, set an all-time record at the Fox the week of April 16-21. The North American touring company played to 36,160 people over the course of the standard eight performances—the highest-attended eight-performance week ever for a Broadway show or North American tour, according to the production.
The engagement was presented at the 4665-seat Fox Theatre by Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta, part of the Broadway Across America network.
