Grosses Analysis: Oklahoma! and Slave Play End Broadway Runs With a Bang
Two Broadway productions that sparked excitement on stage and on the web ended their runs on a high note. Both the Tony-winning revival of Oklahoma! and Jeremy O. Harris' Slave Play earned their highest grosses in the week ending January 19, which marked their final performances.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical grossed $672,071 (90.1 percent of its potential) at the Circle in the Square Theatre, while Slave Play took in $775,716 (93.2 percent of its potential) at the Golden. Next up for the venues are David Mamet's American Buffalo and Martin McDonagh's Hangmen, respectively.
The show - which tells the story of a pregnant, pie-baking waitress - became a smash hit, and saw Bareilles nominated for Tony and Grammy awards.
It also introduced her to her partner, actor Joe Tippett, and legendary musician T Bone Burnett, who produced her latest, Grammy-nominated album.
Now, she’s making her West End debut in the show’s title role, which she’ll play for six weeks from 27 January.

“I really talk about my life in categories - before Waitress and after Waitress,” Bareilles tells the BBC. “I can’t imagine life without it.” Based on Adrienne Shelly’s 2007 film, the musical was a departure for the singer, who’d previously scored hits with autobiographical pop ballads like Love Song and Brave.
