While several shows saw slight dips in their receipts, most shows' numbers remained consistent with their grosses from the past few weeks. Tourist-friendly hits like Wicked, The Lion King and Spider-Man remained on top, followed by The Book of Mormon. The new Tony-winning musical continues to remain a hot ticket as the show broke the house record at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre for the 15th time, taking in more than $1.2 million and earning the top spot for capacity. Meanwhile, Follies entered its first full week of performances and earned more than $725,000.
