Wicked (98.79%) Aladdin and Les Miz both began previews on Broadway this week and turns out everyone wanted to see a carpet fly and how Ramin Karimloo would do on his Main Stem debut—both shows played to 100% capacity. Meanwhile Rebecca Hall made her final Main Stem bow in Machinal over at the American Airlines Theatre, as did those Bronx Bombers, who have been underdogs since opening on February 6 and have now made way for Audra. And after a few weeks away from the top spot, The Book of Mormon was back as the highest grossing show on the Great White Way.
