Broadway Grosses: Pretty Woman Still Going Strong at Start of Holiday Season

The acclaimed musical adaptation of the smash 1990 film Pretty Woman might have opened at the kickoff of the fall season, but despite a slew of additional new musical productions having debuted on Broadway since, the celebrated tuner at the Nederlander Theatre has continued on the road to hit status. In the past week alone, the show grossed $1,205,530.20, filling the house to 94.32% capacity—both increases from the prior week. On the play front, strong performers included the star-packed Broadway premieres of The Waverly Gallery ($448,634.50) and American Son ($598,514.10).
