It was a week of celebration for the acclaimed play Network, Lee Hall and Ivo van Hove's acclaimed adaptation of Paddy Chayefsky's iconic film. As the show announced its recoupment, audiences packed into the Belasco Theatre to experience Bryan Cranston's electric performance in-person. In what was a milestone week, the production posted a box office gross of $1,060,415.55, filling the theater to 100.56% capacity. There are just three months left to experience the one-of-a-kind play for yourself, so make plans now before Network is just a memory.
