Road B.O. dips; 'Wicked' $1.5m

Road grosses

By VARIETY STAFF

NEW YORK -- Road grosses fell in Week 5 (June 26-July 2) as the 10-show slate dropped 15.23% to $9,298,765.

This decrease was due in part to "Hairspray" ending its run and in part to unreported figures from the "Mamma Mia!" tour of Monterrey, Mexico, where it can take up to a month for road numbers to be counted and converted.

As usual, "Wicked," "The Lion King," "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Spamalot" surpassed the million-dollar mark.
