The Book of Mormon Posts Record $2.24M Week on 15th‑Anniversary Cameos

The spike illustrates how star returns and premium ticketing can drive large, short-term box‑office gains that require further weeks of data to confirm lasting tourist lift.

Overview

  • Broadway League figures for the week ending Sunday, June 14, 2026 show The Book of Mormon grossed about $2.24 million for eight performances, a roughly $1.52 million jump from the prior week.
  • The production staged a 15th‑anniversary 'Magical Mormon Mystery Week' with original‑cast cameos and raised its average ticket price to $264.93 while playing to about 99% capacity, which producers credit for the record week.
  • Overall Broadway grosses held steady at $38,561,313 across 39 productions for the week ending June 14, a near‑flat week compared with the prior reporting period.
  • Several Tony winners posted immediate post‑Awards gains, with Schmigadoon! up about $179,000 to roughly $1.14 million, Ragtime up about $133,000 to $1.43 million, and Giant up roughly $280,000 to about $1.38 million.
  • Smaller shows continued to struggle as event weeks concentrated revenue; Celebrity Autobiography announced a June 21 closing after averaging under $40 per ticket, and analysts warn that sustained boosts from the Tonys and anniversary events must be measured in coming weeks.
