Countdown To Broadway’s Tony Night: How Are The Nominees Doing At The Box Office?
With the Tony Awards this Sunday, Deadline takes a look at how productions with nominations are faring at the box office.
The Musical took in$492,211, a slip of $36,278, not as big a drop as some shows, but with only 78% of seats filled at the Broadhurst, a win or a decent performance on the broadcast would be a Boon! ; Buena Vista Social Club was up $78,789 to yet another fine gross of$1,161,897, with the Schoenfeld sold out; Dead Outlaw took a significant stumble of $101,335 to$465,538, with attendance at just 78% at the Longacre; look for this one to gain some traction after the Tonys; Death Becomes Her took a $213,760 to a still healthy$1,346,164 and 95% of seats filled; Floyd Collins dropped $33,976 to$469,724, with attendance at 73.9%; this musical is playing at the non-profit Lincoln Center Theater, but still could use some Tony help before closing June 22; Glengarry Glen Ross played only seven performances compared to the previous week’s nine, so the $745,354 fall to$2,005,254 is understandable. Whether or not featured actor Bob Odenkirk wins the show’s sole Tony won’t do much to impact the show’s strong draw; Good Night, And Good Luck is Tony-proof, regardless of wins or losses in its five nominated categories: The George Clooney-starrer closes the day before the ceremony and has already broken just about every box office record it can, including last week’s best-ever take of$4,245,599; Gypsy grossed$1,109,959, down $34,380 and, more concerning, filling only 77% of seats at the Majestic; a Best Musical Revival or a trophy for Audra McDonald should do some real good; John Proctor Is The Villain was off a mere $7,942 to$668,665, selling out the Booth.
