Broadway Grosses: Tony-Winning Once On This Island Dances Out to Packed Houses

Michael Arden's celebrated, Tony-winning revival of Once On This Island concluded its run this past weekend, playing a final slate of performances filled with cheering standing-room-only crowds. The show packed the in-the-round Circle in the Square Theatre to 103.77% capacity, taking in a strong gross of $727,235.50 in its last week on Broadway. Two other exiting shows also saw stronger numbers than usual, with the Go-Go's musical Head Over Heels taking in $342,866.50 and filling the Hudson Theatre to 87.64% capacity and the revival of Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song posting a gross of $276,173.40 and packing the small Hayes Theater to 85.47%. Across the board, Broadway took in $37,530,273.10, a decrease from the holiday week prior, which saw a gross of $57,807,272.33.
