Broadway Grosses w/e 11/3/2019: Time wasn’t the only thing that fell back this week
Last week, overall grosses dipped 8% to just over $31M. Halloween tends to be a tough day for Broadway shows, and this year’s holiday seemingly lasted all week.
Despite the overall drop on the street, newcomers Tina – The Tina Turner Musical and Jagged Little Pill showed strong attendance and average tickets. Beetlejuice also managed to capitalize on the spooky season with its fourth week grossing over $1M.
