Broadway Grosses: Audiences Can't Get Enough of Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones & Bobby Cannavale; That's a Fact

This past week, Broadway crowds were treated to the opening of a world premiere play led by a trio of beloved stars. Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale star in The Lifespan of a Fact, a raved-about new work which has theatergoers packing in to Studio 54. In the week of opening, even while accommodating first-night press, the show's gross went up to $808,088.00, with attendance also growing to 93.30%. The Lifespan of a Fact plays Broadway for a limited engagement through January 13, 2019, so now couldn't be a better time to make plans to see the new work for yourself.
