Broadway Grosses: Pretty Woman Struts Its Stuff at the Box Office During Seven-Show Week

Pretty Woman: The Musical opens at the Nederlander Theatre on August 16, and the stage adaptation of the 1990 rom-com favorite, which began performances on July 20, has been having a steady summer sizzle at the box office. As previously reported, the film's star Julia Roberts attended a special performance honoring the late Garry Marshall last week, and the new show raked in $1,008,726 (84.44% of its earning potential) with only seven preview performances. Other productions that had a red hot week included Hamilton, which celebrates its three-year anniversary on Broadway on August 6, A Bronx Tale, which played its final performance on August 5, The Lion King, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Frozen and Hello, Dolly!
