‘The Lion King’ to set new milestone on Broadway

“The Lion King” normally pulling in $1 million to $2 million every week,  is about to be the first Broadway show to earn $1 billion! In April of last year, the show beat “The Phantom of the Opera” for Broadway’s all-time highest grossing show, despite opening almost ten years after it. “The Lion King” is close behind “Les Miserables” for being the fourth longest running Broadway show, with “Les Mis” closing in 2003 with 6,680 shows and “The Lion King” closing this week at 6,621.http://http://www.boston.com/ae/theater-arts/2013/10/18/the-lion-king-set-new-milestone-broadway/jquZNXD2QCH8qYZTtmBCyI/story.html
