Broadway Grosses* w/e 4/9/2017 – Jumping Ahead!
Greeting Gross Fans!
Quite a bit of that is due to the amount of big hits and big stars we currently have on Broadway. Twelve shows this week grossed over $1 million and that’s quite a big jump from last year’s five.
And we’re up not only in grosses, but total show numbers too. There are currently 40 shows running right now and this time last year we only had 36.
And Easter Bunny alert . . . I expect the holiday week will bring a lot more than colored eggs this week. Expect even higher numbers as tourists roll into town for one last spring hoorah.
