Broadway Grosses: Divine Summer for Doubt

The summer tends to be a time of box office buoyancy for musicals, but this year one straight play is keeping pace with its flashier counterparts. The Tony Award-winning Doubt is packing them in at the Walter Kerr Theatre--last week reaching 100% capacity. The show has also been doing great in terms of gross. Two weeks ago, Doubt took in $539,065 while last week that number was at $527,799.
