Aaron Sorkin has pulled off quite the feat with his latest project, a theatrical stage production of To Kill a Mockingbird. According to Variety, the play is a ?certifiable smash,? grossing $1.7 million in the second full week of performances ? shattering records to make it the top single-week grossing American play in Broadway history for the week of December 30, 2018.
Scott Rudin, the Tony-winning producer behind ?To Kill a Mockingbird.? ?We?ve had plenty of shows break plenty of records, but nothing we?ve ever had has been like this. The company of ?To Kill a Mockingbird? has been together for quite a long time already, through numerous labs, readings, and a very healthy preview period. The success of this play ? and the huge affection shown for it thus far ? belongs entirely to them. It?s their hit.?
To Kill a Mockingbird currently runs through to the last Sunday in January
