Maya Rudolph Lifts Oh, Mary! to Lyceum Box Office Records

Premium pricing tied to Rudolph's debut shows how a star turn can jolt Broadway demand.

Overview

  • Oh, Mary! set a Lyceum Theatre weekly record of about $1.54 million for the week ending May 3 following Friday’s $199,935 house record for a single performance.
  • The comedy was one of six Broadway shows to sell out that week as its top ticket hit $575 and the average price reached $215.67, the second highest on Broadway.
  • Rudolph’s first week in the title role coincided with the surge, extending a run that has repeatedly reset the Lyceum’s own benchmarks since 2024.

  • Broadway’s 40 productions grossed $39.26 million for the week, according to The Broadway League, and coverage notes Tony nominations often boost sales in the weeks that follow.
