Broadway Grosses* w/e 12/25/2016
Greetings Gross Fans!
I hope you all had a Happy Holiday and are gearing up for the end of 2016. We’ve experienced a bit of a dip from last year and last week, as most shows only had 7 performances due to all the holidays.
Although most shows had a slow week, a few experienced a boost, including Cats, Fiddler on the Roof, Hamilton (which broke $3 million again), Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked.
We’re finishing up a strong Broadway year this week, and I can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store. Happy New Year Gross Fans!
