‘Good Night, And Good Luck’ & ‘Othello’ Go Out On High Notes; ‘Call Me Izzy’ With Jean Smart Takes $416,759 For Six Previews – Broadway Box Office

Of course it’s too soon to determine what impact Sunday’s Tony Awards will have on Broadway box office – we’ll get a better sense of that with next Tuesday’s numbers covering the first post-Tony week – but neither Good Night, And Good Luck nor Othello need worry. Both mega-smashes played their final performances prior to the awards hand-outs, had nothing to polish and still went out on big notes.

Good Night, And Good Luck starring George Clooney topped its previous best weekly gross, taking in $4,331,226 and saying good night to Broadway for real this time – the play closed Sunday, along with Othello, which had its own personal best of $3,807,875. The two productions recouped their investments last month. Another big, starry earner, Glengarry Glen Ross closes June 28 and it, too, has already recouped.

All three of those shows were among the top 5 earners for the week building up to the Tonys: Good Night, $4,331,226; Othello, $3,807,875; Wicked, $2,413,805; Glengarry Glen Ross, $2,358,099; and The Lion King, $2,002,468.

Productions that sold out last week, or came within a hair’s breadth, were Buena Vista Social Club; Good Night, And Good Luck; John Proctor Is The Villain; Just In Time; Maybe Happy Ending; Oh, Mary!; Operation Mincemeat, Othello; The Outsiders; The Picture of Dorian Gray and Wicked.

Some of the shows that could have used some Tony love but went away empty-handed were Boop! The Musical, which saw only 85% of its seats filled last week; Dead Outlaw, 80%; Floyd Collins, 77%; Real Women Have Curves, 72%; Smash, 66%; and The Last Five Years, 69%, but that one already has a June 22 closing.

Gypsy filled only 69% of its seats last week, and with the musical revival taking no awards, the production will need to rely on Audra McDonald’s barnburner of a Tony night performance for some revitalized interest.

Recent arrival Call Me Izzy, the solo comedy-drama starring Jean Smart, pulled in $416,759 for six previews at Studio 54. Reviews and word of mouth should help this one. Opening night is June 12.

In all, the 40 Broadway shows took in $45,788,192 for the week ending June 8, 2025, up about 2% over the previous week and 36% over last year at this time. Attendance was 329,886, about even with the previous week and up 18% year over year.

Season to date, Broadway, in the 2nd week of the 2025-26 season, has grossed $90,737,995, up about 32% over last year at this time, with total attendance of 663,415 up 17%.
