Broadway Grosses: Tony Winners Shine Brightly at Box Office

The hot shows on Broadway just keep getting hotter, as Tony wins translate into full houses for The Book of Mormon, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Anything Goes and War Horse. The Tony effect was felt below the frontrunners’ lists, as well: Catch Me If You Can sold an extra $200,000 in tickets in the week after Norbert Leo Butz's Best Actor win, and Best Revival winner The Normal Heart jumped almost $90,000 from the previous week, playing to 99.10% of capacity. More than a third of the 32 shows currently on view played  boasted audiences above 90% of capacity for the week.
