Broadway Grosses Week Ending May 5, 2012

Well it's Monday and you know what that means. It's time to take a look at last week's grosses. Now you would think that with the Tony nominations last week a few shows would see a bump at the box office. To be honest everything pretty much stayed the same. However there were two casualties as Seminar closed yesterday and Magic/Bird is closing this Sunday. Both of which failed to receive any nominations. Unfortunately I am afraid that they will not be the only ones. We shall see. Until next time theatre fans.
