Broadway Grosses: Aladdin Continues to Make Disney's Box Office Dreams Come True

While most new shows beginning this season are struggling to make a splashy first impression on the boards, Disney still managed to float above the rest. In last week's grosses, Aladdin saw a marginal bump from the previous week, grossing $1,310,768 and playing to 97.28% capacity. Meanwhile, The Lion King increased by $72,977, taking the runner-up spot in the grosses, just below Hamilton. Falsettos played its first four preview performances to a capacity of 78.58% of its potential, and as it continues, that number could rise. The Front Page, however, doesn't have much room for improvement; with seven performances, the revival joined the Millionaire's Club in its second week of previews, playing once again to Standing Room Only crowds.
