After a rocky month and a half, weekly grosses are finally up—a difference of $4,429,269. Most shows enjoyed a box office bump on account of the long Presidents’ Day weekend. Wicked, again, claimed the top spot, reaching nearly $2 million. Jersey Boys made a run for the top five, cementing its place in the millionaire club for the week, alongside The Book of Mormon, The Lion King, and Spider-man Turn off the Dark.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is finally bouncing back. The production suffered a clump when famed gleek, Darren Criss, ended his three week limited engagement. Nick Jonas seems to have found his following; the show grossed $739,615.
Two new productions joined the ranks. William Shatner’s one-man show Shatner’s World: We Just Live In It and the revival of Death of a Salesman starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman, both got off to a good start. Both shows played at about 90% capacity in their first week.
