Broadway Grosses: The Prom Goes Out on Top, Reaching All-Time High at the Box Office

Everyone was going to prom this past week, as the Tony-nominated smash-hit musical played to packed houses in its final set of performances at the Longacre Theatre. The celebrated musical reported a gross of $916,256.45, a box office record for an eight-performance week since the musical's start of previews in October. The mega-talented cast played to cheering crowds who filled the house to 99.38% capacity, catching the fan-favorite show for one last time. The Tony-nommed creators of The Prom will no doubt continue to ride high on the show's success, with an upcoming young adult novel and star-packed screen adaptation both in the works.
