Broadway Grosses: Tina Is Simply the Best; New Bio-Show Packs Houses in Highest-Grossing Week

Tina: The Tina Turner Musical arrived on Broadway to cheering crowds at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on October 12 and opened on November 7 to loads of positive reception; now the new musical has even more reason to celebrate. The exciting tuner posted its strongest numbers yet this past week, taking in a gross of $1,497,521.00, up from the prior week's box office of $1,332,425.00, and filling the Broadway house to 100.65% capacity, a rise from the prior week's attendance of 100.30%. Audiences will no doubt be checking out the new musical about the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll for years to come, but now couldn't be a better time to make plans to experience the delightful new bio-musical for yourself.
