Broadway Grosses: As Tony Night Approaches, Once On This Island Packs the Circle in the Square Theatre

Michael Arden's acclaimed revival of Ahrens & Flaherty's Once On This Island has plenty of reason to cheer. The recipient of eight Tony nominations and a pair of Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards, the tuner has been delighting audiences since opening last fall. But the show's recent awards recognition has theatergoers paying extra attention. In the past week, Once On This Island filled the Circle in the Square Theatre to 100.99% capacity, stirring audiences with Arden's immersive staging. With Tony Awards night only a few weeks away, now couldn't be a better time to make plans to see the cheered new production for yourself.
