Broadway Grosses: Numbers Down Across the Board

It was a tough week at Broadway box offices, which apparently drifted into a post-Memorial Day lull. Only two shows Top Girls and Lincoln Center Theater's smash hit South Pacific revival increased their grosses from the previous week, and 15 shows dropped more than $100,000 from the numbers leading up to and including Memorial Day weekend. The "underdog" shows hovered at 50% of capacity or less, while the big three Wicked, The Lion King and Jersey Boys continued to pull in more than $1 million at the box office.
