Broadway Grosses: Box Office Steady; In the Heights Climbs

In the week leading up to the Tony Awards, Broadway box offices remained steady—which is to say, the smash hits kept their places at the top of the lists both for grosses and capacity. Although it didn't crack the top five, In the Heights continued its steady climb, grossing $803,125 for the week, a $200,000 jump from the week ending June 1. Shows that didn't need a Tony "bump" included the un-nominated Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, playing to almost 96% of capacity, and South Pacific, already doing almost sellout business even before it set a record for musical revivals by winning seven awards.
