Broadway Grosses: Six Begins Previews to Sold-Out Houses

Six, Broadway's newest West End transfer about the six ex-wives of King Henry VIII, hasn't played a full week of performances, but the new musical's already filling houses at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. The pop concert spectacle began previews on February 13 and played to an average 101.17% capacity in the five performances given before the end of last week, likely foreshadowing the same success it saw in London, where Six was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Musical and is still running. Set to open on March 12, Six stars Adrianna Hicks, Andrea Macasaet, Brittney Mack, Samantha Pauly, Anna Uzele and Broadway.com vlogger Abby Mueller.

Here's a look at who was on top—and who was not—for the week ending February 16.
