Katharine Hepburn Tops Boxoffice On Tour Run
Katharine Hepburn proved the top boxoffice draw with a nationwide tour of Coco after a lukewarm New York run in The Alan Jay Lerner Andre Previn musical Onco. The $900000 production dipped when Hepburn left for a film, but the Coco tour played capacity in large venues with weekly grosses around 150000, peaking above 170000. After 192 road performances, producer Frederick Brisson realized an overall profit.
