Broadway Grosses: In the Heights Still Climbing; Macbeth Takes Final Bow

Those 13 Tony nominations continue to help the grosses of In the Heights, which climbed above 91% of capacity at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, bringing in $80,000+ over the previous week in the process. Of course, awards aren't everything, as the folks at Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which jumped more than $70,000 from the week before and played to close to 98% of capacity, can attest. The Little Mermaid also held on to its usual spot in the top five in spite of being passed over in most Tony categories. Over at the Lyceum, Macbeth finished strong, filling the theater to 98.16% of capacity just missing the top five in its final seven performances before closing on May 24.
