Broadway Grosses: Present Laughter & More Plays Boom at the Box Office

The Tony-nominated revival of Noël Coward's classic comedy Present Laughter shot up $100,066 this week, grossing a total of $853,434. The Kevin Kline-led side-splitter is up for three Tony Award nominations (Best Revival, Best Leading Actor in a Play for Kline and Best Costume Design for Susan Hilferty). Cobie Smulders (whom we loved having on #LiveatFive last week to unveil our snazzy new studio) has also been nominated for a Broadway.com Audience Choice Award. Other plays with box office success include The Price (up $128,100 in its last week), Sweat (up $41,189 from last week) and A Doll's House, Part 2 (up $27,505). Meanwhile, Tony-nominated musicals The Great Comet (up $301,606 from last week with the return of leading man Josh Groban) and Groundhog Day (up $103,356) also had a great week.
