The post-Tonys high continues to draw large crowds to the theatre district, all eager to catch the season’s best shows.
The Great Comet, which was the most Tony-nominated musical of the season, continues to enjoy a boost in ticket sales despite winning in only two of its 12 categories. Last week marked the show’s highest-grossing week since the new year—an achievement that was again topped this week by a boost of over $34,000. The musical took in $1,353,993 and was just shy of 100% capacity. Josh Groban takes his final bow in the musical July 2.

Hello, Dolly!, which won four Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical and an award for its leading lady Bette Midler, also saw its highest-grossing week yet with a total of $2,305,481. June 25 marks the second consecutive week that the show had eight performances (rather than seven) with the introduction of Donna Murphy in the role once a week. The revival was the second-highest grossing production of the week, topped only by Hamilton, and remains at over 100% capacity since it began previews.
The Tony-winning Best Musical Dear Evan Hansen also saw a boost in ticket sales from the previous week, taking in $1,286,865.56—its third-highest grossing week since taking over the Music Box Theatre. It also remains at over 100% capacity since opening last December.
