Say it three times, indeed. The Tony-nominated musical Beetlejuice broke the Winter Garden Theatre's box office for the third time this week, grossing $1,435,799.00 in seven performances. Despite a recent closing announcement, the new musical is packing houses, this past week playing to SRO crowds at 102.19% capacity. Beetlejuice will continue through June 6 at the Winter Garden before the new revival of The Music Man begins performances there, so now couldn't be a better time to pay a visit to see Broadway's ghost with the most.
