Broadway Grosses: A Chorus Line Revival Takes Its Last Bow

In a busy week on Broadway, the top-five lists for both grosses and capacity remained unchanged, as tourists flocked to big-budget musicals. Two notable closings ended the week: The Broadway revival of A Chorus Line played its final performance after a run of almost two years at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, and Laurence Fishburne ended his limited run as Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in Thurgood at the Booth Theatre.
