WICKED Breaks Box Office Records at Hollywood Pantages During Holiday Weeks

The Los Angeles return of WICKED has set two separate box office records at Hollywood Pantages Theatre over the recent holiday weeks. The production grossed $2,512,446 for the 8-performance week ending December 28th, a record previously held by The Book of Mormon set in November 2012. This past week ending January 4th, WICKED went on to break its own box office record for a 9-performance week previously set in January 2009, grossing $2,848,613.

We have truly come full circle with yet another record-breaking engagement, and our audiences are as captivated as ever; whether it be the first or the tenth time seeing it."
