The play Good Night, and Good Luck concluded its successful run on Broadway with a weekly income of $4.3 million, surpassing its previous earnings record as the highest-grossing play on Broadway.
On June 7th, the live broadcast of the play featuring George Clooney aired on CNN, allowing viewers everywhere to witness it. This production, which recuperated its initial $9.5 million investment in less than nine weeks, also recorded the highest average ticket price during its run at $347 and played to audiences that filled every seat beyond capacity.
The performance premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre on April 3 and concluded on June 8, which was also the date of the Tony Awards. The production received five Tony nominations, among them a nod for Clooney, but went home empty-handed without winning any awards.
The production of Othello, featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington, concluded at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on June 8. During its run, it managed to earn a peak gross of $3.8 million and set a new record for average ticket price at $456. The play had been consistently popular since its premiere on March 23, despite being met with mediocre reviews and missing out on Tony nominations. Despite this, the show successfully recovered its investment after nine weeks on Broadway.
Last week, Wicked took the second spot for highest box office earnings, raking in approximately $2.4 million. This was closely followed by Glengarry Glen Ross, a production featuring Kieran Culkin, Bill Burr, and Bob Odenkirk, which grossed around $2.3 million. The Lion King came in third with earnings of about $2 million.
It’s possible that “Happy Ending” triumphed at the Tony Awards on Sunday, claiming the prestigious title of Best Musical, and earning Darren Criss a trophy too. Furthermore, it bagged four other Tony Awards. The influence of this success for “Happy Ending”, along with winners like “Sunset Blvd”, which secured the award for Best Revival of a Musical and a Tony for its star Nicole Scherzinger, “Purpose”, winner of Best Play, and any other productions that left a mark through their Tonys performance, will unfold over the coming weeks.
Last week saw a boost in attendance for the musical “Boop!” and the film “Real Women Have Curves,” with “Boop” earning $554,195, an increase of nearly $62,000 from the previous week, playing to 85% of its capacity. Similarly, “Real Women Have Curves” grossed $414,432, a rise of around $22,000 compared to the previous week.
Neither show took home Tony Awards on Sunday, but there’s optimism that the strong performance of “Real Women” and the acclaim for Jasmine Amy Rodgers in “Boop” might generate more ticket sales. Unfortunately, “Boop” was not given a slot to perform during the broadcast.
