As Hurricane Sandy made its way through New York, all Broadway shows were forced to cancel at least one performance, and with various transportation systems shut down in the city and surrounding areas, the storm's effects lingered throughout the week. Long-running shows The Book of Mormon, The Lion King and Wicked still pulled in over $1 million, but many shows struggled to fill their houses to even 50% capacity.
Here's a look at who was on top and who was not for the week ending November 4.
