New York, NY – School of Rock – The Musical kicks off 2016 by besting its own record-breaking week at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway). Grossing $1,671,621.59 and with houses at 102.1% capacity (103.8% of gross potential) the week ending January 3, Broadway’s new hit musical breaks its own house record set just last week. School of Rock, which had a special nine-performance week over the holiday, surpasses its previously held record set during last week’s eight performances while also breaking Mamma Mia’s! nine-performance-week record set in 2006.
“We could not have ended 2015 on a higher note, and we look forward to 2016 bringing School of Rock to greater audiences on Broadway, in London, and at the hundreds of schools themselves that will be performing the show across America,” said Andrew Lloyd Webber.
