Broadway Grosses: Ain't Too Proud Rides Wave to Hit Status, Surpassing Million-Dollar Mark

It was a celebratory week for the new Temptations musical Ain't Too Proud. The cheered Broadway tuner hosted a star-studded opening-night celebration, performed on The Tonight Show and reached a milestone at the box office. The new musical reported a gross of $1,102,217.66—a strong jump from the prior week's box office of $949,780.60—and the tuner's first week surpassing one million dollars.
