Broadway saw a big boom last week with the addition of several new shows for a total of 37 productions. And five of those new shows have already joined the Million Dollar Club; with only one of them deemed officially open (the others are still in previews). This week there are 22 productions in the Million Dollar Club with the top three topping the $2 Million mark.
