Broadway Grosses: Shakespeare Scores at the Box Office

Audiences are clamoring to catch Mark Rylance pull double-duty as the neurotic, lovestruck Countess Olivia in William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and then as the murderous titular madman of The Bard's Richard III. The shows, performed in repertory, played to a stellar 98% capacity at the Belasco Theatre. Numbers are also staying strong for Harold Pinter’s No Man's Land and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, also playing in rep, starring Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. Meanwhile, The Book of Mormon, The Lion King, Kinky Boots, Wicked and Motown the Musical all broke the $1 million mark and A Time to Kill on Broadway is a case that's been closed.
