Three Broadway shows were honored with Grammy nominations this year and the trio continues to triumph in grosses and capacity on the Great White Way. Motown the Musical, Kinky Boots and Matilda all garnered nominations for Best Musical Theater Album for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards and each raked in more than a million dollars at the box office this week. We also parted in such sweet sorrow as Romeo and Juliet finished its run December 8 and Wicked maintained its title as the number one witch on the main stem!
