She added 2 shows due to amazing ticket sales, and performed 10 shows in 8 days at the famed Belasco Theater. She sold over a million dollars worth of tickets in less than a week, quite a feat for Broadway.

Kathy's TV Guide special called Kathy Griffin's Insightful and Hilarious Take on The Royal Wedding is ranked #1 for TV Guide this year in prime time and was the highest rated wedding special on cable.
