Breaking news:
‘Book of Mormon’ Breaks Another House Record On Broadway, And One In Denver
Deadline.com
The Book Of Mormon on Broadway broke the house record of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre for the 39th time for the week ending August 19, with a gross of $1,651,064.00. While that is a big number for a theater with less than 1100 seats, there the musical just keeps topping itself. The show simultaneously broke new ground by cracking the house record at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, where the first National Tour opened last night. – For the same week ending August 19 (when the show was in previews), the musical turned in a gross of $1,340,947.00 for the week.

If you’re still wondering if it’s the year of mobile, you’ve already missed it. While the medium pales in advertising dollars spent — just $6.4 billion worldwide in 2012 — it occupies an outsized place in the marketer’s consciousness. Why? The smartphone, now carried by nearly half of all Americans who own a mobile phone, is a computer, a camera, a map, a compass and, for a small-but-growing number, a wallet.
