The recoupment announcement comes days after the production's June 29 final performance. The high-tech production reported a record-breaking final-week gross of $2,092,069, the highest weekly take for the production and the first time it surpassed $2 million in a single week.
The $2M figure marks the second-highest weekly gross for any show, play or musical, in the history of the Music Box Theatre, topped only by Dear Evan Hansen during the week ending December 31, 2017. Throughout its extended run, Kip Williams' adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel repeatedly topped its own box office records and holds the distinction of being the only non-musical play to gross more than $1 million in a week at the 104-year-old venue.
Previews for the limited engagement began on March 10, with the official opening on March 27. The production arrived on Broadway following a sold-out run in London's West End. Dorian Gray was nominated for two Tony Awards, with Snook, who played all 26 characters, winning in the Leading Actress/Play category (the other win was for Marg Horwell's costume design).
The play originated in 2020 at Sydney Theatre Company. The Broadway production was produced by Michael Cassel, Adam Kenwright, Len Blavatnik and Danny Cohen, Daryl Roth, Amanda Lipitz and Henry Tisch. Aaron Lustbader was Executive Producer and Michael Cassel Group the worldwide Executive Producer.Best of Deadline
