Ragtime has similarly been drawing increased interest since the Tony nominations, bringing in $1.2 million last week at Lincoln Center\u2019s Vivian Beaumont Theatre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Lost Boys, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/lists\/2026-tony-awards-nominations-full-list\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:which tied;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;which tied&quot;}\" class=\"link \">which tied <\/a>with Schmigadoon! for the most Tony nominations this season, has also been seeing an upswing, with grosses hitting $1.16 million last week, even as capacity dropped slightly to 89 percent. Schmigadoon! is also still riding a post-Tonys boost, bringing in close to $843,000 last week, after bringing in about $650,000 previously. Capacity also fell slightly to 85 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And Tony nominee Every Brilliant Thing rose to a new high, reaching close to $2 million as Daniel Radcliffe winds down his run in the show, with the highest average ticket price on Broadway last week at $250.

Oh Mary!, starring Maya Rudolph, also cracked the top five, with $1.6 million last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the other hand, Beaches fell to 44 percent capacity at the Majestic Theatre, its lowest level yet, with grosses falling to $441,484 (its lowest gross for an eight-show week). With grosses coming in below running costs, it remains unclear how long the show, which did not receive any Tony nominations, can remain open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Celebrity Autobiography, in which a rotating cast of celebrities read from other celebrity autobiographies, is also off to a rough start, bringing in only $33,953 across its first three performances at the Shubert Theatre, with a very low average ticket price of $15.22.
