The production, which also earned Tony Awards for stars Andrew Garfield and Nathan Lane, played to 93 percent capacity; the limited engagement is scheduled on extension through July 15.
A total of 20 other productions surpassed $1 million in grosses this past week, including usual suspects like Hamilton, Springsteen on Broadway, and Wicked, as well as recent Tonys contenders Frozen, Mean Girls, My Fair Lady, SpongeBob SquarePants, Carousel, and The Band’s Visit (which took home Best Musical).
