Broadway Grosses w/e 5/5/2019: Industry Dips despite Tony Picks
Despite the excitement of the Tony Award nominations last week, most shows saw drops in their grosses. Overall the industry was down about 11%, coming in at $34M.
Most notably bucking the trend were Tootsie, Hadestown, What the Constitution Means to Me, and To Kill A Mockingbird, all of which got top recognition last Tuesday.
