Broadway Grosses: Aladdin and Wicked Fly High at the Box Office

Whether on a magic carpet or a broomstick, it's a good week to be flying on Broadway. Aladdin, in its third week of previews, continued to bring in packed houses, while Wicked kept its spot as the top grossing show. Additionally, the revolting children of Matilda found their way back into the top five, and A Raisin in the Sun and The Book of Mormon once again played to houses of 100% or higher capacity.
