| Although it's well accepted that the Leading Actress/Actor Tony does not have much box office pull, this is one of the soonest closings after the Tonys for such a winner for a musical in a while. I think the last one to close faster was when Christine Ebersole won for Grey Gardens, which closed on July 27 of that year. I also don't have much interest in seeing Ain't Too Proud, although I'll get to it at some point. I just don't find the idea of seeing a re-creation of a concert with none of the actual original performers to be all that compelling. I know that there is more to the show than just simulations of concerts, but that seems to be a hefty portion of most biographical jukebox musicals. Beautiful is one of the few such musicals that didn't seem to have a large concert component. I'd much rather have some attempt at an actual storyline. |

| For boxoffice. Even revival musical doesn’t seem to do much for last years once on this island and this years oklahoma, which actually dipped in gross by $23k. Not a lot, but the show isn’t at capacity in a very small house. Only ferryman has had a real increase (since hadestown was at capacity already). And best actor musical winner did nothing for the boxoffice for tootsie. The $55k increase after award show was probably just The number at the tony more than the acting win. | |

| It's interesting that non-winners The Prom and Beetlejuice seem to be the only nominated musicals that are getting a consistent upward trend (besides Kiss Me, Kate, which is closing on Sunday, and Hadestown, which was sold out already). Beetlejuice has had its two highest-grossing weeks since the Tonys, and The Prom's past week is its second-best ever behind Christmas week. Ain't Too Proud, Oklahoma and The Cher Show have had a down week in the past two weeks. Tootsie has gone up both weeks, but is still lagging behind its May peak. | |
