Once ceased to fall slowly, closing on its 1168th performance (84th longest-running Broadway show ever). Once is an adaptation of the musical movie of the same name, and closes as a resounding success. The show swept the Tony Awards in a very weak 2012, stealing Best Musical away from Newsies, and outlasting both Newsies and Spider-Man in that season. It made its money back that August, and closes having earned $110 million and having been seen by over a million people. Once currently has a U.S. tour, and will play in the West End until March.
