Broadway is gearing up for the big holiday season and family friendly productions are reaping the benefits, especially the long-time favorite Annie at the Palace Theatre. The production had its most profitable week to date, grossing $883,946 and playing to a capacity of 72.89%. The Book of Mormon, however, came out on top, with Wicked and The Lion King, which celebrated 15 years on Broadway this week, following closely behind.
The Performers, a new play by David West Read, opened on Broadway. Then, just six performances later, closed. In all, the production grossed $737,219 and played an average capacity of only 61.47 through 30 total performances.
Broadway welcomed two-time Tony Award winner Patti LuPone in The Anarchist, which also features Debra Winger.
