Broadway Grosses: Jake Gyllenhaal & Tom Sturridge Play to Sold-Out Crowds as Sea Wall/A Life Begins Main-Stem Run

The moving two-hander Sea Wall/A Life made a splash at Broadway's Hudson Theatre this weekend as performances kicked off. The sobering pair of monologues, performed by Jake Gyllenhaal and Tom Sturridge, filled the Hudson Theatre to 100.00% capacity in its first two previews, bringing in $258,304.00, which exceeded its gross potential of $251,100.00. Among other strong-performing productions this past week was the smashing new musical Moulin Rouge!, playing to 100.14% capacity and bringing in $1,747,335.50, 93% of its potential of $1,863,044.00 in an opening week that included a number of comped tickets for press.
