Broadway shows pack ‘em in
From the Associated Press
Broadway had a lot to be thankful for during Thanksgiving week -- most notably record grosses for several of its most popular shows.
“Wicked” took in a mammoth $1.7 million, a new Broadway record. It broke the house record at the Gershwin Theatre, one of Broadway’s largest playhouses, where “Wicked” grossed $1.6 million during the week between Christmas 2005 and New Year’s 2006.
Another record was set at the August Wilson Theatre, where “Jersey Boys,” the Four Seasons musical, grossed $1.18 million.
