Broadway Grosses: Beautiful Plays to Packed Houses in Its Final Week

Just short of six years after beginning performances at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, the long-running hit bio-show Beautiful: The Carole King Musical wrapped up its hit run on October 27. The closing of the fan-favorite musical encouraged a slew of fans to check out the show one final time; in its final slate of performances, Beautiful brought in a gross of $1,209,465.40, up from the prior week's box office of $1,050,336.00. The show filled the theater to 100.61% capacity, an increase from the previous week's attendance of 98.51%. Beautiful may have concluded its Broadway reign, but a national tour continues across the U.S. and a film adaptation is in the works.

Here's a look at who was on top—and who was not—for the week ending October 27.
