Broadway Grosses: Wicked Stays on Top; Stick Fly Says Farewell

As the traditionally slow month of February comes to an end, long-running hits Wicked, The Lion King and Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark held the top three spots at the box office. Family drama Stick Fly ended its Broadway run, playing to 81.56% capacity during its final week. Now in its second week of previews, Mike Nichols' revival of Death of a Salesman starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman continued its strong start, filling the Barrymore Theatre to a very healthy 96.90% capacity.
