Broadway Grosses: In My Life's Light Fades

The critically derided tuner In My Life announced last week that it will shutter on December 11. Looking at the show's grosses, the decision to close is understandable. The show, which opened at the Music Box Theatre on October 20, has had a hard time getting paid audience members in seats. Last week it filled the Music Box to only 35.79% capacity on average. In My Life took in $145,004 for the week ending on December 4.
