Broadway Grosses: The Waitress Box Office Heats Up with Jason Mraz's Broadway Bow

It's amazing what baking with Jason Mraz can do! The two-time Grammy winner made his Broadway debut in Waitress as Dr. Pomatter on November 3, and the musical grossed $900,167 this week, earning $172,772 more than its previous week at $727,395. That figure put the Sara Bareilles-scored show at 88.3% of its earning potential. This marks the best weekly gross for Waitress since June when Bareilles herself starred in the production. Waitress also came in at 90.86% by capacity. It seems audiences want a taste of Mraz's golden vocals live at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. The singer-songwriter will continue in the production through January 14, 2018.
