Broadway Grosses: To Kill a Mockingbird Is Strongest Performing Play in Quiet Winter Season

In what is typically the least active time of year for theatergoers, one new show of the 2018-2019 season has consistently performed strong, with box office numbers still growing. That would be Aaron Sorkin's acclaimed new stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, which is also regularly the highest performing straight play on Broadway. In the past week, the show took in a gross of $1,646,705.47, an increase from the prior week's box office of $1,609,189.00 and still higher than the intake of $1,539,570.51 from the week before that. The celebrated production from director Bartlett Sher, starring Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch, is the talk of Broadway and doesn't seem likely to be going anywhere soon.

Here's a look at who was on top—and who was not—for the week ending February 24.
