Broadway Grosses: Box Office Steady as Spring Season Enters the Home Stretch

As the spring break crowds thin, the overall Broadway grosses dipped a bit from Easter week numbers, but big musicals—including The Addams Family, which opened on April 8—continued their winning ways. For the first time in memory, Jersey Boys slipped out of the frontrunners’ list, but not because the show lost popularity: A fire on 52nd Street forced the hit musical to cancel two performances. In the comings-and-goings department, Looped played its final performance and Collected Stories and Enron began previews.
