Broadway Grosses: Xanadu Still Climbing; Mamma Mia! Strong

Xanadu continue to benefit from the presence of Whoopi Goldberg in the cast, climbing to more than 93% of capacity for the week ending August 10. In the stage-to-screen department, Mamma Mia! enjoyed its best week of 2008 on Broadway, topping the list for capacity and earning more than $1 million as the film version exceeded $100 million at the box office. Otherwise, the standings remained about the same with In the Heights just missing both top five lists, and a healthy 14 of 26 Broadway shows not including Young Frankenstein, which doesn't reveal its box office numbers played to more than 90% of capacity.
