Broadway Grosses: Wicked Shines in 15th-Anniversary Week

It was a week of celebration for the fan-favorite Broadway musical Wicked. In addition to toasting its 15th birthday with a star-studded television special hosted by original leading ladies Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, the show saw a box-office boost, taking in a gross of $1,676,014.00 and filling the Gershwin Theatre to 93.44% capacity—both increases from the prior week. Wicked has been delighting audiences eight times a week since making its first appearance in 2003. As we head into the winter season, now couldn't be a better time to warm your heart by experiencing this beloved, long-running Broadway hit for yourself.
