This Broadway season is witnessing unprecedented box office success, with record-breaking plays like 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' starring George Clooney, grossing $3.3 million in a week. This surpassed the previous record held by 'Othello,' which made $2.8 million. Despite a smaller number of performances, 'Good Night' thrived due to its larger venue, the Winter Garden Theater, compared to 'Othello's' Ethel Barrymore Theater. Although musicals generally dominate Broadway, this year, nonmusical plays are proving popular and lucrative, blurring the lines traditionally drawn between genres.
Good Night, and Good Luck, a new play starring George Clooney, grossed $3.3 million last week, the most money a nonmusical play has ever made during a single week on Broadway.
Othello still has higher ticket prices its top seats were being sold on its website for $921, compared to $799 for Good Night, and Good Luck.
