Broadway Grosses: As Network Nears End of Run, Audiences Rush to See Bryan Cranston's Tony-Nominated Turn

Since the stage adaptation Network began its Broadway run back in November, theatergoers have been captivated by the latest performance from Emmy and Tony winner Bryan Cranston. Following multiple extensions, the acclaimed play—which netted Cranston a 2019 Tony nomination—will conclude its run on June 8, the day before the Tony Awards ceremony. This past week, audiences were extra eager to check out Cranston's acclaimed turn before he exits the Belasco Theatre before the Tonys. The Broadway League's numbers are proof, with Network taking in a gross of $1,037,755.10, up from last week's gross of $1,008,529.32, and filling the Belasco to 102.65% capacity, just up from last week's SRO crowd of 102.52%. Now with Broadway's biggest night less than a week away, there are only a few days left to see Cranston's celebrated performance in this smash hit.
