It’s closing time on Broadway, as several shows have announced plans to end their runs after striking out at the Tony Awards, and others completed their planned runs.

But the closing notices can also be a boon for grosses.

After announcing that the show will end its run June 29, Real Women Have Curves saw its grosses shoot up about $140,000 last week to reach $508,544, which is the highest gross it has hit since starting previews at the James Earl Jones Theatre April 1. Capacity increased to 81 percent from 64 percent the prior week.

Smash closed on June 22 and saw a $400,000 uptick from its grosses the prior week. The show, which opened April 10, ended its run grossing $977,805, one of the highest grosses of its run and playing to 84 percent capacity at the Imperial Theatre.

Dead Outlaw is the latest musical to announce an early closing date. The show, which was nominated for seven Tony Awards,...

Several Broadway shows – Smash, Floyd Collins and The Last Five Years – went out on high notes last week, with last-chancers boosting box office for all three productions.

Smash, the musical based on the TV series, saw the most significant jump, with grosses climbing $401,499 to $977,805 for the week ending June 22 (the previous week was a seven-performance week). Still, the Imperial Theatre was only 84% filled.

Floyd Collins, the Tina Landau musical at Lincoln Center’s Vivian Beaumont, saw a significant increase of $258,106 to $754,317, with a strong 91% of seats filled. The Last Five Years, starring Adrienne Warren and Nick Jonas, saw a $123,154 gain to $604,088, with attendance at 86% of capacity at the Hudson.

The uptick in Broadway box office wasn’t limited to the exiting shows, though, with most of the 38 productions reporting gains over the previous week. Cabaret At The Kit Kat Club, which has posted an October 19 closing date, was up $182,267 to $944,982.

One of the elements of Netflix's The Diplomat that lends itself to being an addictive drama is how the show juggles huge political turmoil alongside relationship drama and often comedic complications for the core characters. Case in point, Stuart Heyford (Ato Essandoh), the deputy chief of mission of the U.S. embassy in London. Besides his duties being the right hand for U.S. ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), Stuart had a tumultuous second season.

After surviving the Season 1 finale explosion, he recovered enough to return to work and randomly met a woman (Adrienne Warren) with whom he hooked up, only to find out there was nothing random about it all. His ex-girlfriend Eidra (Ali Ahn), the CIA station chief, set it all up to ensure he was ready to come back to his job.

Here, Essandoh tells us whether he likes to know what's coming on the hit drama,...

After hosting the Tony Awards, Cynthia Erivo and crew headed to the Russian Tea Room in New York, where award winners and celebrities decided to shed the formalities of the evening and skip to the celebration.

“I’m sick of talking. I think we should all dance now,” Erivo announced to the starry crowd, after being handed a mic while sitting on top of a banquette in a short black taffeta dress.

At the party, aptly named Cyn City, the Wicked star led a crowd up to the second floor of the famed New York venue, where a dance circle formed around her as Abba’s “Gimme Gimme” played. Dancers included Julianne Hough; Danielle Brooks, who starred in The Color Purple on Broadway with Erivo; Adrienne Warren, currently starring in The Last Five Years on Broadway; Dylan Mulvaney; and Lena Waithe, as the music transitioned to Beyoncé tunes and other pop hits.

The news it covers may be unpredictable, but Late Night with Seth Meyers isn't surprising anyone with its schedule this week. Monday's holiday confirms what fans can expect from the NBC show this week.

No late-night TV show works five nights a week, every week of the year. Late Night with Seth Meyers is no exception, having gone on a hiatus last week. Monday was Memorial Day, adding another built-in break to the show's schedule.

That means there will not be a new episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday night. In fact, the show is off for the remainder of the week.

NBC will still try to make the most of the show's timeslot. Repeat episodes are slated to run on the network at 12:35 a.m. Et.

Amid their run in the Broadway production of The Last Five Years, Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren recently shared some of their personal experiences as evolving artists working in the fields of performing and songwriting. During a new interview on I've Never Said This Before With Tommy Didario, the duo opened up about the difficulties of overcoming certain perceptions from audiences amid their aim to try new things. “I think it’s interesting that our investment in someone’s previous work makes us question their ability to do something else. But it does happen.... I have been in scenarios when my goal was to come out with a hit and every single time I do that, it’s not a hit. But when I tap into something that’s true...

Producers of Broadway’s The Last Five Years – the Jason Robert Brown musical starring Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren – have taken an unusual step as a way to honor the industry’s all-important pinch-hitters: They’ve added a one-night-only performance to star standbys Noah Kieserman and Nasia Thomas.

Just in Time star Jonathan Groff in currently in second place in Gold Derby's Tony Awards predictions for Best Actor in a Musical, only behind fellow Glee alum Darren Criss for Maybe Happy Ending. The former triumphed for Merrily We Roll Along just last year, so if he prevails again, he'd be the first individual in history to win this category consecutively.

Prior to Groff, five men were Tony nominated for Best Actor in a Musical two years in a row, but didn't emerge victorious:

Gregory Hines in 1980 for Comin' Uptown and 1981 for Sophisticated Ladies George Hearn in 1983 for A Doll's Life and 1984 for La Cage aux Folles (the latter of which resulted in a win) Patrick Wilson in 2001 for The Full Monty and 2002 for Oklahoma!

Shelter PR, the bi-coastal PR firm repping some of the industry’s top talent that’s also a key player in the awards space, has promoted four senior publicists across its Los Angeles and New York offices.

The promotees are Jenny Tversky, Jessica Sze, Stephanie Kazanjian, and Larissa Saenz, who (with the exception of Saenz), worked alongside Shelter PR’s founding Partners — Marla Farrell, Cara Tripicchio and Christine Tripicchio — during their earlier tenure at Wkt Public Relations, the firm now known as Wolf Kasteler PR.

Named Executive Vice President, Tversky will oversee company and staff relations across both coasts. A founding member of Shelter PR, Sze has been promoted to Vice President within the company’s New York office, as has Kazanjian. And then there’s Saenz, who has been named a Vice President of Shelter PR’s Los Angeles office.

In a statement on the promotions, the Shelter Partners said,...

Veteran publicists Jenny Tversky, Stephanie Kazanjian, Jessica Sze and Larissa Saenz have been promoted to new roles at Shelter PR.

The bicoastal PR firm was founded in 2014 by partners Marla Farrell, Cara and Christine Tripicchio after they separated from Wkt Public Relations, where they worked alongside one another for 13 years.

“As we reflect on the past decade since we formed Shelter PR, we attribute the company’s success to our dedicated, innovative and ambitious team,” stated Farrell and the Tripicchios. “It is with immense pride that we recognize the achievements of several of our senior executives with well-deserved promotions, including Jenny Tversky, Stephanie Kazanjian, Jessica Sze and Larissa Saenz, all of whom have established themselves as formidable publicists and trailblazers across both coasts and in the global market. We are excited to witness their continued growth in their new leadership roles.”

Tversky has been named executive VP, overseeing company and staff relations across both coasts.

Well, big weekly grosses and even bigger stars can’t guarantee a Tony Awards nomination.

Broadway does what Broadway wants, so no Best Play nominations (or anything else) for huge moneymaker Othello, and no Best Play noms for Good Night, and Good Luck, Stranger Things: The First Shadow and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Same for the critical favorite Cult of Love.

While Good Night and Dorian Gray weren’t nominated for Best Play, their big stars — George Clooney and Sarah Snook, respectively — were nominated for their performances, as expected. In fact, Dorian Gray, in which Snook plays all the characters from the Oscar Wilde novel, has the distinction of being the most nominated solo show in Tony history, placing in six categories: Snook’s performance, Kip Williams’ direction, and nods for scenic, lighting, sound and costume design.

Othello, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Denzel Washington, was entirely shut out of the 2025 Tony Award nominations.

While the play received mostly mixed reviews, it has been drawing crowds on Broadway and has frequently had the most expensive average ticket price in the industry, at $374.17 last week.

The new musical Redwood, starring Idina Menzel, was also entirely shut out of the Tony nominations, as was the musical The Last Five Years, starring Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren. McNeal, led by Robert Downey Jr. in his Broadway debut, did not receive any Tony nominations.

Though George Clooney got his first Tony Award nomination for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck, the play, which he co-wrote, did not receive a nod for best play, even as it has also been the highest grossing production on Broadway for the past several weeks.

Similarly, the celebrity-driven Glengarry Glen Ross did not get a...

Forty-two productions are eligible for Tony Award nominations this year – the announcements come Thursday morning – making many of the categories very, very competitive. Will the movie and TV stars take over the awards just as they’ve done at the box office? Is there room in the major categories for the high-tech items like Stranger Things: The First Shadow and The Picture Of Dorian Gray? And can anything stop Cole Escola and Oh, Mary! I wouldn’t bet on it.

The nominations for The 78th Annual Tony Awards will be announced Thursday, May 1, live from Sofitel New York on the Tony Awards official YouTube page at 9 a.m. Et.

StubHub has partnered with Atg Entertainment to become the official resale partner for 16 of its venues, including Atg’s Broadway theaters.

The partnership covers Atg’s six Broadway theaters, the Hudson Theatre, St. James Theatre, Al Hirschfeld Theatre, Eugene O’Neill Theatre, August Wilson Theatre and Walter Kerr Theatre. The first show available on the platform will be The Last Five Years, starring Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren, at the Hudson Theatre.

The Eugene O’Neill Theatre is the longtime home to The Book of Mormon, with Sunset Blvd. currently playing the St. James Theatre and Cabaret at the August Wilson. Hadestown is playing the Walter Kerr Theatre and Moulin Rouge! The Musical is playing the Al Hirschfeld.

The agreement for the Broadway theaters comes after Atg’s owner merged with Jujamcyn Theaters, which owned five Broadway theaters, in 2013. Jujamcyn had previously partnered with SeatGeek as its primary ticket seller,...

Broadway had what appears to be its best non-holiday (Christmas and New Year) week ever last week, with major hits like Good Night, and Good Luck, Glengarry Glen Ross, Othello and longrunners The Lion King, Wicked and Aladdin helping push the total box office figure to $50,874,940 for the week ending April 20.

The figure, for 40 shows, is a huge 47% greater than this week last year. Total attendance of 357,319 was 19% more year-over-year.

Contributing to the big tally were special nine-performance weeks from The Lion King, Wicked and Aladdin.

Even more significantly, the gargantuan total was reached with major contributions from a raft of newly arrived star-packed sell-out productions such as Good Night, and Good Luck with George Clooney, Glengarry Glen Ross with Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr, and Othello...

Late Night with Seth Meyers fans have been patient through the middle of April. But a new schedule from NBC only delivers more bad news.

The late-night TV show was off the air last week, airing repeat episodes every night. It was a hard pill to swallow for Seth Meyers' fans who have become dependent on the comedian to give a closer look at the week's headlines.

But any hope that the week off was just a brief hiatus was dashed by NBC. The network's scheudle this week confirms Late Night with Seth Meyers remains off the air.

The Easter holiday on Sunday certainly didn't help the odds of Meyers returning to the air. Other late-night shows, like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, are also going dark this week.

Good Night, and Good Luck, the play about Edward R. Murrow written by George Clooney and Grant Heslov adapted from their 2005 film, grossed $3,784,200 last week at Broadway’s 1,537-seat Winter Garden Theatre, breaking its own previous $3.3 million record as the highest grossing non-musical play in Broadway history.

With ticket prices also on the upswing – average cost last week for a seat to see Clooney in his Broadway debut was $303.40, with premium seats hitting $825 – the play, which stars the ER actor as Murrow and was directed by David Cromer, is taking in more money than any play in the Winter Garden’s hundred-plus years.

The previous record-setter was the 2022 musical revival of The Music Man starring Hugh Jackman, which set the Winter Garden’s house record in March of that year with a $3.5 million regular eight-performance weekly gross (that revival still holds the house record for a special nine-performance week with...

The Tony Awards Administration Committee met on April 10 to determine the eligibility status of eight Broadway productions ahead of the 2025 Tony Awards. This is the third administration meeting of the 2024-25 season, and the shocking outcomes have shaken up several key acting races ahead of the nominations announcement.
