Broadway Grosses: Matilda Hits the $1 Million Mark

Sorry Miss Trunchbull, looks like audiences don't find those Matilda children revolting at all. After opening to glowing reviews, the new musical took in over $1 million for the first time during its run. Bette Midler broke the house record over at the Booth Theatre where I'll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers earned $686,031. This week also marked the reunion of '60s rockers The Rascals as their show Once Upon a Dream took in a healthy $646,622 for five performances. Meanwhile Holly Golightly said farewell to the Great White Way as Breakfast at Tiffany's played its final performance.
