The 2024/25 season is officially over and has made its mark in the record books with the highest grossing season in Broadway history.
“Good Night, and Good Luck” and “Othello” ended their runs last week with “Good Night” breaking the record once again by topping the $4 million mark; plus the free broadcast of the play on CNN had over seven million viewers.
Last week concluded with the 78th annual Tony Awards but while theatre fans flocked to see the Hollywood A-listers George Clooney, Denzel Washington, and Jake Gyllenhaal; only Clooney earned a Tony nomination but did not earn a win.
