Broadway Grosses: Checking Back In on Tony-Winning Fun Home as Sydney Lucas Hangs Up the Keys

Pint-sized Tony nominee Sydney Lucas sang about that ring of keys for the final time in Fun Home on October 4, and the musical sent her off with a slight uptick. The Tony-winning tuner celebrated a box office increase of over $40,000, despite a miniscule decrease in attendance; it still managed to hit 99.3% capacity in the small space. Meanwhile, Main Stem perennials The Lion King, The Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Wicked and Aladdin showed no signs of leaving their posts in the top five grossing shows, and Thérèse Raquin and Sylvia began preview performances. We will continue to monitor the two limited engagements through previews and opening night.
