Broadway Grosses w/e 11/12/2017
Last week, I got into a bet with a staffer about the effect of Veterans Day on Broadway biz.
I bet biz would go up. He bet it wouldn’t.
I won.
Veterans Day is a sneaky little holiday because the day floats through different days of the week each year. This past Vets Day put the holiday on a Friday, which actually helped create a reverse long weekend (Friday first).
