Broadway Grosses: On Your Feet's Rhythm Is Still Gonna Get You, Even in Winter Weather

The Estefans are showing no signs of taking a sitting break. Their Broadway bio-musical On Your Feet! finished the first week of February—generally considered a sluggish period across the boards—by grossing in over $1 million. It’s managed to reach seven figures every week since November with the exception of last month’s shortened week during snowstorm Jonas. The musical was one spot shy of reaching the top five, which was secured once again by Hamilton, The Lion King, Wicked, The Book of Mormon and Aladdin. Meanwhile, Fun Home, the Tony-winning Best Musical currently at the Circle in the Square (one of Broadway’s smallest theaters), appeared in the bottom five by gross; it still managed to reach 84.65% capacity. We suspect that house on Maple Avenue to polish and shine a little brighter after making it through the winter.
