Broadway Grosses: Audiences Dance Over to Broadway's Once On This Island

Broadway audiences ventured to the island this past week! Once On This Island landed a spot in the top five by capacity, filling the Circle in the Square Theatre by 101.33%, similarly to regular heavy-hitters like Dear Evan Hansen (101.40%), Hamilton (101.77%) and Come From Away (101.86%). Broadway.com's Best Show of 2017 also grossed $599,476, 75.67% of its earning potential ($792,176). We're curious to see how the revival does once the world is humming through the new cast recording, which is scheduled to hit earbuds on February 23.
