But overall, the industry took a hit last week, with grosses and attendance both down about six percent. Every Brilliant Thing also cancelled one performance, with grosses dropping down to $361,158 (the lowest tally of the week) and capacity falling to 77 percent.
Oh, Mary! saw a $130,000 drop in grosses last week, bringing in $911,738 as star Meg Stalter missed performances due to illness.
