Most of Broadway‘s Tony-nominated productions saw box office jumps in the week leading up to Sunday’s awards ceremony, with Cats: The Jellicle Ball, The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titanique and Becky Shaw reporting noticeable gains.
Of course, the award victories won’t be reflected at the box office until this week’s receipts arrive with next week’s report, but the signs look good. Multiple-nominated Cats: The Jellicle Ball was up $120,126 to $1,027,555 for the week ending June 7, filling 94% of seats at the Broadhurst, while The Lost Boys jumped $101,545 to $1,361,299, selling 94% of seats at the Palace. Death of a Salesman was at its usual SRO attendance, with a gross of $1,833,372 up more than $18,000 from the previous week.
Becky Shaw was up more than $90,000 to $586,877, with 99% of seats filled at the Hayes. Schmigadoon!, which won Best Musical, was up $98,902 to $957,049 in the week leading up to its victory, filling 88% of seats at the Nederlander. Titanique was up $71,797 to $863,191 at the St. James, with attendance at 88% of capacity.
In terms of capacity, The Balusters held steady at the Friedman, though box office was up $34,057 to $360,379.
With the Tonys on Sunday, some of the contenders had pre-planned seven-performance weeks and reported the expected drops in receipts. Still, Ragtime, the Best Musical Revival, was a sell-out as usual at the Vivian Beaumont, attendance at Giant was up to 96% of capacity at the Music Box (from the previous week’s 91%), and Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York) went from 76% to 80% of capacity at the Longacre.
Every Brilliant Thing, with Mariska Hargitay in her second week (following both her big debut week and the previous departure of Daniel Radcliffe), was down $68,610 to $1,066,712, selling 91% of available seats at the Hudson.
Some notable numbers among the older shows:
- Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was up $530,506 to $1,571,883 with the return of the film franchise’s Tom Felton, who had been on vacation the previous week;
- Maya Rudolph‘s limited engagement in the title role of Oh, Mary! remained a force, grossing $1,503,940, filling 99.6% of seats and carrying the highest ticket price on Broadway at $210.78. The second highest ticket price was the week’s top earner Hamilton at $197.30 for a gross of
$2,102,012. - Lowest ticket price for the week was Celebrity Autobiography at just $22.56. The gross was $74,437, with only about 37% of seats at the Shubert occupied.
Saying goodbye was Fallen Angels, non-prof Roundabout’s hit comedy starring Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara. The Noël Coward revival ended its limited engagement at the Todd Haimes on June 7, a sell-out that grossed $727,116.
