The up-beat Gloria and Emilio Estefan tuner On Your Feet! opened on Broadway on November 5, and it has since had an impressive audience hearing percussion. The musical just concluded its highest grossing week at $1,317,026, just shy of hitting the top five by revenue and capacity (94.46%). The new revival of Fiddler on the Roof began previews at the Broadway Theatre on November 20 and managed to play to virtually full houses for its first three performances. Meanwhile, Dames at Sea hit a box office low at $127,071. Producers announced earlier today that the musical will leave the Broadway port on January 3, 2016, and that a national tour is set for 2017.
