Grosses Nowadays
It’s been awhile since we brought up the weekly grosses of the Broadway world. And things have turned around a little bit, at least if you look at the numbers only. But if you look at the particular shows that are doing well, a lot of the ones that are selling better are the same as those selling well back in November and December. But there are a lot more shows up than down. Our guess is that the reason for this is that a lot of the shows that were flailing at that time have since closed their productions. As a result, it doesn’t look so bad. Plus there are fewer shows to compete with one another, so people who visit to see a Broadway show, no matter what, have only x number of shows to choose from. Thus, the shows that remain will go up a little bit. The top two were Chicago and Speed the Plow.
