Broadway Grosses: Rent Still Rising; Spring Tops 100%

The return of original cast members Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal continued to be great news for the box office at Rent: The long-running show again topped 100% of capacity at the Nederlander Theatre. Also in the 100% club: Spring Awakening, which went over the top in capacity for the first time in its Broadway run at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre; Hairspray, which continues to thrive in the wake of the hit feature film version; and perennial winners Mamma Mia!, Wicked and Jersey Boys. In a generally strong week, every show among the top five grossers passed the magic $1 million mark.
