Broadway Grosses: Cherry on Top of Sundays

Billy Crystal's 700 Sundays is a big hit. In its first full week since opening to mostly positive reviews, the one-person show had its best week ever, raking in $775,486 in just seven performances. The play that reached closest to that figure was Democracy, but it made about $300,000 less--despite playing one more performance. 700 Sundays also filled the Broadhurst Theatre to 96.77% on average.
