Broadway box office took a slide last week as receipts for Sweeney Todd fell by more than $1 million with the departures of Josh Groban and Annaleigh Ashford (and before the February 9 arrival of big-name replacements Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster). Most of the productions reported a drop in receipts, though none on the scale of the $1,315,747 hit taken by Sweeney: The acclaimed Sondheim musical revival grossed$795,400, compared to the massive$2,111,147 for the previous week, when Groban and Ashford came to the ends of their limited runs. Sweeney ‘s slip is all but certainly temporary, with Broadway favorites Tveit and Foster arriving early next month and Heartbreaker ‘s Joe Locke taking the role of Tobias beginning January 31.
