Disney Musicals Set Box Office Records

The 3 Disney Musicals currently running on Broadway did big business over the holiday week.


All three Disney on Broadway musicals set new box office records for the week ending December 30, 2007. The Tony Award-winning The Lion King, which set a new record at the Minskoff Theatre, did $1,571,937. The classic musical, Mary Poppins, which broke a new record at the New Amsterdam Theatre, did $1,465,793. And, Disney's newest musical on Broadway, The Little Mermaid, which set a new record at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, did $1,325,391.


Boy, aren't they glad that the stagehands strike is over, especially since they lost big business over the Thanksgiving week. Even the Little Mermaid, which is still in previews, did outstanding business.
