Jelly’s Best Jam: George C. Wolfe’s “Jelly’s Last Jam,” which closed Sunday at the Mark Taper Forum, broke the theater’s total box-office record for an eight-week run. The tribute to jazzman Jelly Roll Morton took in $767,746, besting the previous record of $758,826 for Kenneth Branagh’s Renaissance Theatre Company’s repertory productions of “King Lear” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in March, 1990.
