Broadway Grosses: Summer: the Donna Summer Musical Works Hard for the Money, Surpasses One Million Dollars

Broadway served up a crowd-pleasing bio-show when Summer: the Donna Summer Musical celebrated a glittering opening night at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre last week. The tuner following the rise and fall of the Queen of Disco—portrayed by superstar actresses LaChanze, Ariana DeBose and Storm Lever—is now on its way to megahit status. The show reached its first box-office milestone over the past week, taking in $1,055,612.10 in sales, a jump of $92,695 from the prior week.
