THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY Recoups on Broadway

BroadwayWorld has just learned that The Picture of Dorian Gray officially recouped its Broadway investment. This milestone comes during the production’s final week of performances, which saw a record-breaking gross of $2,092,069 — the highest weekly take for the production and the first time it has surpassed $2 million in a single week.

This achievement also marks the second-highest weekly gross for any show, play or musical, in the history of the Music Box Theatre, topped only by Dear Evan Hansen during the week ending December 31, 2017.

Throughout its extended run, Kip Williams’ innovative adaptation starring Sarah Snook has repeatedly broken its own box office records and holds the distinction of being the only play to gross over $1 million in a week at the 104-year-old venue.

The Tony-winning play played its final performance at the Music Box Theatre on Sunday, June 29.
