Broadway Grosses w/e 8/25/2019: The Ups and Downs of Summer
Broadway Grosses w/e 08/25/2019:
Grosses took a tumble last week with one of the biggest drops of the season. Coming in 12% less than the previous week at $28M, the street showed little mercy in the dog days of summer.
A few bright spots included a record-breaking week for What The Constitution Means To Me and a $360k jump for Waitress as they welcomed in two new stars.
