Broadway Grosses w/e 10/28/2018: The Fall Roster Fills Out
Despite adding two more shows to the boards this week, grosses slipped almost 4% to $33M with most shows posting large drops from the previous week.
Newly in previews are The New One and The Prom and both picked a tough few weeks to step out onto the field, but I’m sure they can count on an influx of ticket buyers cheering them on as the holiday season starts to heat up next month.
