The Book Of Mormon Beats Wicked and The Lion King In Broadway Box Office Race "After 11 months of performances on Broadway,
The Book Of Mormon reached a milestone last week in its extraordinary box office success fueled by premium ticket pricing: The musical beat the long-running blockbusters
Wicked and
The Lion King to become the top-grossing show in a single week for the first time, even though
Mormon had hundreds of fewer seats to sell to each performance than those two other commercial hits."
