Broadway Grosses: Spider-Man Packs Houses in NYC Before Swinging to Vegas

Spidey is trading the streets of the Big Apple for Las Vegas in 2014, and New York City audiences are giving him a super-sized, web-slinging farewell! The high-flying extravaganza Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark packed in huge crowds this week, playing to over 105 percent capacity at the Foxwoods Theatre. Hit musicals Wicked, The Book of Mormon, The Lion King, Kinky Boots and Motown the Musical easily took their place in the top five, while starry productions of Betrayal, Twelfth Night and Richard the III played to sold-out crowds, and The Snow Geese played its final performance.
