Broadway Grosses w/e 9/30/2018: Out of the Woods?
A full week of previews for The Lifespan of a Fact, 6 previews for the new-to-the-boards The Waverly Gallery, and the return of the always-reliable Springsteen meant a 12% increase in the overall gross. Seasonal grosses and attendance continue to be up year over year at 16% and 4%, respectively.
Most shows saw moderate increases this week with one of the largest posted by Anatasia, jumping $151k over last week.
Most of the street will be happy to put September behind them as the month posted some of the lowest grosses of the season so far.
