Broadway Grosses: To Kill a Mockingbird Continues to Break Its Own Box Office Record

Audiences have less than a month to catch Jeff Daniels in To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway, and they are certainly flocking to the Shubert Theatre to do so before there is a casting change. The production, which recouped its Broadway investment in April, raked in $2,244,415.34 last week with the theater at 101.70% capacity. This marks the ninth time To Kill a Mockingbird has broken its own box office record. The play has solidified its spot on the top five among musicals like Hamilton ($3,090,992.00), The Lion King ($2,242,450.00), Moulin Rouge! ($2,203,608.50) and Wicked ($1,839,657.00). The splashy new musical Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, starring Adrienne Warren, also had its first preview performance last week on October 12, grossing $212,998.00.
