Broadway Grosses: Tony-Winning Productions See Box Office Boost in Advance of Broadway's Big Night

The 73rd annual Tony Awards on June 9 saw major prizes go to a number of productions and stars. The week leading up to the annual celebration of the Great White Way showed strong numbers for the shows that ended up triumphing at the Tonys. The Ferryman, Tony winner for Best Play, brought in $618,056.50, up from last week's gross of $542,335.00, while Best Musical winner Hadestown posted a gross of $1,225,285.60, an increase from the prior week's intake of $1,181,102.20, and Best Musical Revival winner Oklahoma! took in $583,921.50, a bump from the previous week's $526,781.00. Now that the winners have been selected and summer is on the horizon, it couldn't be a better time to check out the top picks of the 2018-2019 Broadway season.
