Broadway Grosses: Audiences Pack the Golden Theatre to See Praised Three Tall Women

Edward Albee's Pulitzer-winning play Three Tall Women has been stirring Broadway audiences since making its long overdue main-stem premiere last month. Headlined by stage greats Glenda Jackson, Laurie Metcalf and Alison Pill, the new production has proved itself a hot ticket. In the past week, Three Tall Women grossed $779,655.72, up more than $180,000 from the previous week's gross of $599,626.00, and filling the Golden Theatre to 100% capacity. The must-see production plays a limited engagement through June 24, so now couldn't be a better time to make plans to see three legends at work.
