The Shubert Theatre was jam-packed last week as audiences clamored to see Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch, Tony winner Celia Keenan-Bolger as Scout Finch and the incredible original cast of Aaron Sorkin's To Kill a Mockingbird before their final bow. The Broadway stage adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel took in a gross of $2,245,898. As previously reported, stage and screen star Ed Harris is set to lead the company as Atticus Finch beginning on November 5 alongside a talented new cast that includes Taylor Trensch, Kyle Scatliffe and more. The popular production came in just behind Hamilton; the revolutionary musical hosted 17 high schools at the Richard Rodgers Theatre for the Wednesday's matinee as part of the Hamilton Education Program (#EduHam). Each EduHam ticket is $10 for students and subsidized by an additional $60 from the Rockefeller Foundation and our other generous funders who work with the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, which plans and administers the program.
