Broadway Grosses: The Front Page Remains Above the Fold, with the Help of More than a Few Stars

The Front Page may not make the main story of the charts, but it's certainly above the fold. The starry revival grossed $1,282,500—its highest figure so far—and was just shy of making the top five this week. With the holidays approaching, that number should easily hit above $1.3 million by the end of the year. Meanwhile, A Bronx Tale started performances on November 3, and with three preview performances, the new musical reached a capacity of 95.5% and grossed over 90% of its potential. As the Longacre Theatre has a capacity of just over 1,000, it's nigh impossible for the show to appear at the top of the boards or join the Millionaires Club, but it will certainly be one to look out for. The revival of Falsettos, despite becoming an instant critics' darling, has failed to see the numbers to match the positive response. This past week, however, the show faced an uptick of over $100,000, grossing $600,206.
