Broadway Grosses: Skylight Kicks Spaghetti Bolognese Up a Notch in Final Week & Other Tony Winners Boost Numbers

After 106 performances/batches of spaghetti bolognese, Skylight, starring Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy, ended its Broadway run on June 21. The production, which took home the 2015 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, broke the Golden Theatre box office record in its final week, bringing in $927,539. The other big Tony-winning play of the 2014-15 season, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, continued to inch toward hitting seven figures once again (having done so previously over Christmas and New Year’s). Fun Home and The King and I, which received Tonys for Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical, respectively, celebrated their highest-grossing weeks; we expect both to ride their trophy-fueled wave with rising numbers throughout the summer.
