Broadway Grosses w/e 01/12/2020: Broadway still in hibernation
While the weather was trying to tell us otherwise last weekend, it’s certainly still January on Broadway. Grosses fell a steep 28% last week to $31M.
Much of the drop was a result of several shows closing last week. But with 19 shows dropping six figures off their weekly gross, the rest of the winter looks grim. When’s spring break again?
