Broadway Grosses w/e 2/3/2019: Going Deep for the Deep Freeze

By Ken Davenport

The week of The Superbowl is usually counted as one of the worst weeks of the year for Broadway shows. And this week’s well-below-zero-temps did not help. Overall grosses were down 12% and quite off the mark from this week last season (down 3.67%). Most shows posted significant drops compared to the previous week.

On Monday the Tony Award-winning show The Band’s Visit made a somewhat surprising closing announcement and will play its final performance in just two months prior to heading out on the road for a national tour.
