‘Wicked’ Wins Again

Well, sort of. The Broadway musical Wicked has been the top-grossing Broadway production for several weeks now, and the award-winning show at the Gershwin Theatre once again topped the charts this week, pulling in a whopping $1,458,664 in revenue. While the incredible musical dropped in sales from two weeks ago, when it netted $1,524,141 over the course of eight shows at the Gershwin in New York City, this week’s numbers were good enough for Wicked to sit atop the charts once again, making it one of the greatest musicals to hit theaters this year.

The rest of the top five list of top-grossing Broadway productions for the week (April 20-26) included: West Side Story at the Palace Theatre grossing $1,191,832; Billy Elliot: The Musical at Imperial Theatre with $1,158,561; The Lion King at Minskoff Theatre grossing $1,128,044; and Jersey Boys at the August Wilson Theatre with $1,037,565.

Will Wicked hold its reign over all the other Broadway productions next week, or will West Side Story finally conquer it? Will Shrek The Musical make its way back onto the top five? What about Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5? Stay tuned to find out!
