Broadway Grosses: Original Carnage Cast Goes Out with a Bang

Their show just missed the frontrunner list for grosses, but the original cast of God of Carnage—Marcia Gay Harden, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Jeff Daniels—exited Broadway with a bang, hauling in $1,107,302 and topping the percentage-of-capacity list in their final week at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Overall grosses remained steady from the previous week, with family-oriented shows dropping a bit and one new entry, the holiday musical White Christmas, giving its first five performances at the Marquis Theatre.
