Plaza Suite is just days away from ending its record-breaking run at Broadway's Hudson Theatre, and its box office is having a strong finish. Playing six performances last week, the Neil Simon comedy grossed $1,045,851 and reached 99.95 percent capacity. Though musicals are usually the main dish for Broadway box offices, the revival, led by real-life married couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, extended its run twice and has been a top-five regular for packed houses, right next to tuners The Music Man, Hamilton, The Lion King and Wicked.
Here's a look at who was on top—and who was not—for the week ending July 3.
