Broadway Grosses* w/e 1/29/2017 – The February Freeze.
Greetings Gross Fans!
Do you watch Game of Thrones? Winter isn’t just coming. It’s here.
This week’s numbers are down from last week, and down from the same period last year, partly due to the fact that we’ve got a lot less shows running this year (9, to be exact). That’ll change shortly as the spring season will be quickly upon us with a gaggle of big new musicals that are just starting rehearsals now, preparing for their big bow.
But don’t expect this week to be any better than the last . . . another little show called the Super Bowl will take a big bite of our business this Sunday.
The following are the Broadway grosses for the week ending January 29th, 2017:
