Broadway kicked off its 2025-2026 season last week with a minor 5% dip in box office revenue compared to the previous week, a decline expected following the tourist-heavy Memorial Day weekend. During Week 1, the 40 productions collectively grossed $44,949,803, marking a significant 27% increase from the same week last year.
Total attendance reached 333,529 by June 1, down 3% from the prior week but up 16% year-over-year.
With the Tony Awards ceremony approaching this Sunday, here is an overview of how nominated productions are performing at the box office:
-
Boop! The Musical earned $492,211, down $36,278, with 78% seat occupancy at the Broadhurst Theatre. A Tony win or strong broadcast could boost its performance.
-
Buena Vista Social Club rose $78,789 to $1,161,897, with the Schoenfeld Theatre sold out.
-
Dead Outlaw dropped $101,335 to $465,538, filling 78% of seats at the Longacre Theatre. It may gain momentum after the Tonys.
-
Death Becomes Her fell $213,760 but maintained a strong $1,346,164 gross with 95% attendance.
-
Floyd Collins declined $33,976 to $469,724 with 73.9% attendance. Playing at the non-profit Lincoln Center Theater, it could benefit from Tony recognition before closing June 22.
-
Glengarry Glen Ross showed a $745,354 drop to $2,005,254, partly due to fewer performances (seven vs. nine). A Tony win for Bob Odenkirk may not significantly affect its strong audience.
-
Good Night, And Good Luck is “Tony-proof,” closing the day before the ceremony after breaking numerous box office records, including a record $4,245,599 last week.
-
Gypsy grossed $1,109,959, down $34,380, with only 77% of seats filled at the Majestic Theatre. A Best Musical Revival win or Audra McDonald’s trophy could increase interest.
-
John Proctor Is The Villain dropped slightly by $7,942 to $668,665 but sold out the Booth Theatre, maintaining strong momentum.
-
Just In Time saw a slight increase of $207 to $1,217,729, with sellouts at Circle in the Square Theatre.
-
Maybe Happy Ending increased $13,139 to $1,104,808, consistently selling out the Belasco Theatre.
