Broadway’s ‘The Inheritance’ Units Closing Discover

For the week ending Feb. 16, the two-part manufacturing grossed $345,984, simply 30% of its $1.1M weekly potential. Attendance of 4,372 was at barely greater than half of capability. The manufacturing hit its field workplace excessive level of $738,918 in early November, shortly earlier than opening evening.
