BWAY: "Wicked" Breaks Record

by Trish Causey

Over Thanksgiving week 2009, the Broadway super-smash, Wicked, became the only Broadway show ever to gross more than $2 million in one week. Wicked achieved this with the addition of special holiday performances and the ever-increasing cost of Broadway tickets, around $144 each.

Wicked earned the same distinction in December 2007 when it grossed $1,839,950 in one week, holding on at the top till last week's feat. Perhaps the magic of Oz can help the show beat its own record a third time this December?
