Broadway Grosses w/e 12/9/2018: Holiday Shoppers Choose Broadway

Broadway was back to business last week with the hustle and bustle we’ve grown accustomed to for December. Overall grosses jumped 6% this week topping $40M. With 38 productions on the boards, it’s as jam-packed as we’ve seen in several years.

The Cher Show and Network are both SRO* following their opening nights, while To Kill A Mocking Bird continues to pull in equally strong audiences for their previews.
