Broadway Grosses: Funny Girl Packs House for First Performance

Broadway is back, and this week's grosses are proof. Once again, The Music Man, headlined by Tony winners Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster, takes top spots in both the grosses and capacity categories. The just-opened Plaza Suite, led by real-life couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, also played to full houses.
