The June 9 Tony Awards telecast did a great service to the acclaimed Tony-nominated musical Beetlejuice, which has seen a steady rise at the box office since its delightful televised performance. Since the Tonys ceremony, the new musical's gross has risen from $821,713.40 (June 9) to $923,837.00 (June 16) and eventually this past week's all-time high of $981,335.44 (June 23). Among other milestones this week was a record-breaking gross for To Kill a Mockingbird, which, with a gross of $2,018,314.00, became the first American play to gross more than $2,000,000.00 in a single week.
