Broadway Grosses: The Lion King Stays on Top; Harvey Plays to Full Houses

Family favorite The Lion King continues its sold-out Broadway reign, bringing in a whopping $2,219,534 in box office receipts in a narrow victory over the smash hit Wicked, both of which gave nine performances. Harvey, starring Jim Parsons and a six-foot invisible rabbit, hopped ahead with more than 102% of capacity, while long-running hits Spider-Man, The Book of Mormon and Tony darling Once brought in impressive box office sales of more than $1 million each. Although Newsies didn't make the list of the five highest earning shows this week, the newsboys are still selling papes at more than 101% of capacity.
