Following the Sunday Tony telecast on CBS (and as of 3 PM June 12), Drowsy prompted more than four times the usual Monday take, a spokesman said.
Variety reported that the musical comedy at the Marquis Theater now has an advance of $10 million.
The Drowsy Chaperone won 2006 Tonys in the categories of Best Score (Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison), Best Book (Don McKellar and Bob Martin), Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Beth Leavel), Best Costumes (Gregg Barnes) and Best Scenic Design of a Musical (David Gallo).
At the Tony Awards, the company performed "Show Off," a flashy comic number featuring Tony nominee Sutton Foster.
