Broadway Grosses: Snowed In

The winter weather wreaked havoc at the Broadway box office last week---every show except Brooklyn Boy which expanded from five performances to eight took a hit. Shows that rely heavily on weekend business, such as tourist-friendly fair like Rent down $165,093 from the previous week, took the biggest dips. With sunnier weather in the forecast for this week, a rebound is likely in store.
