Tiny B.O. bump still improves on 2000
Broadway marked time in its penultimate session of the year. Box office rose a mere $10,086, or less than 1%, from the previous week, with 27 shows producing $12,229,474. On the surface, those figures would appear to be more ho-hum than ho-ho if not for this fact: The final cume is a marginal improvement over last year's numbers at this time.
