Jersey Boys ends its 10 plus-year stint on Broadway on January 15, 2017, but for now, they're hanging on to what they've got. The Tony-winning jukebox musical leapt to seven figures this past week, grossing $1,085,083. This marks its highest gross since January 2015. Expect the show's numbers to remain in this range as crowds come to clap along to those Four Seasons tunes one last time at the August Wilson Theatre. Meanwhile, A Bronx Tale, the show expected to soothe those mourning the loss of Jersey Boys, had its highest gross so far in its opening week, taking in $723,675. With a New York Times Critics' Pick badge to boot, expect this number to increase in its post-opening, post-press performance weeks.
