MOTOWN: THE MUSICAL celebrated platinum sales of $1,029,883.00 in its first week of sold-out performances at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre on Broadway, joining the celebrated 'Million Dollar Club.'

This marks the first time a new Broadway musical has joined the million dollar club in its first week of previews without an out-of-town tryout. (And in only 7 performances, one short of the standard 8 performance week). Seen for the first time anywhere by a paying audience, the new musical based on the life of iconic Motown founder Berry Gordy and featuring music and lyrics from the legendary Motown catalog, officially opens on April 14.

Also of note for the week ending 3/17/13, in its first full eight performance week, LUCKY GUY grossed $1,294,233, which was 115.16% of its gross potential. Attendance was 100.94%.
