‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow’, ‘Ragtime’, ‘Just In Time’ & ‘Harry Potter And The Cursed Child’ Smash Broadway House Records During Lucrative Christmas Week

Key Highlights

• The week’s gross of $2,510,948 easily surpasses the show’s previous best-ever of $1,917,541 set just a week before.
• Granted, the more recent figure covers nine performances rather than the usual eight – holiday weeks often include extra performances – but Broadway’s Stranger Things mightn’t have needed the assist: The Broadway production has been thoroughly reinvigorated by the return last month of Netflix’s TV series.

• Just one example: In Stranger Things: The First Shadow, some rather cryptic (and unexplained) remarks are made about Henry Creel’s long-ago (and traumatic) visit to a cave near his home.
• The most recent batch of TV episodes shows just what Henry saw – and did – in that cave that left him forever changed.
