Broadway Grosses: Females Dominate as Mean Girls & Three Tall Women Break House Records

Two female-centric productions made history during this past holiday week on Broadway. The Tony-nommed and Broadway.com Audience Choice Award-winning new musical Mean Girls crushed the house record at the August Wilson Theatre, taking in a gross of $1,565,923.70. The acclaimed, Tony-nominated production of Edward Albee's Three Tall Women also broke a house record at the Golden Theatre, bringing in $940,362.60. Both productions packed their theaters, playing to 101.02% and 100.85% full houses, respectively. As Tony night approaches, now couldn't be a better time to experience Broadway's hottest tickets.
