Mean Girls might have walked away empty-handed on the night of the 2018 Tony Awards, but the new musical's enthusiastic Tony-night performance definitely made an impact on theatergoers watching from home. The Broadway.com Audience Choice Award-winning new musical has broken two box office records since the Tonys, taking in $1,572,995.95 during the first week following Broadway's big night, and this past week reporting a slight uptick of $1,578,400.75—both record-breaking numbers for the August Wilson Theatre. Tonys or not, Tina Fey's company of talent-packed misfits are clearly making a mark on the Great White Way.
