While Nice Work If You Can Get It may not have reached the roster of frontrunners, the new Gershwin musical is definitely doing nice business since opening in April. The musical, which stars Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara, hit the million dollar mark for the first time, taking in $1,022,115 and playing to 93.11% capacity. Both The Book of Mormon and Death of a Salesman broke their house records again, for a respective 33rd and sixth time. Meanwhile, Seminar played its final performance at the Golden Theatre after a run of just over six months.
