Broadway Grosses: Well It Could Be Worse

Despite receiving mostly positive reviews when it opened on March 30, Lisa Kron's avant-garde, autobiographical comedy is still struggling on the Great White Way, leading producers to begin advertising "Last Weeks" in the show's New York Times listing. While it did make a small monetary jump of $17,861 from the previous week, the production grossed only $120,324 for the week ending April 16 and filled the Longacre Theatre to just 32.22% capacity on average.
