The phantom menace currently haunting Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre will vacate the premises on June 6 next year, whenThe announcement comes as a surprise for the $21 million musical, which opened to mixed reviews on April 25 this year but has steadily climbed in grosses as positive audience word of mouth spread and tourists drawn by the familiar 1988 Tim Burton movie title flocked to the show. Grosses for the week ending Dec.
The production scored a significant sales boost from its musical number on the CBS Tony Awards telecast in June, led by Alex Brightman in the title role, and has frequently grossed north of $1 million a week in the months since, representing a remarkable turnaround from its unpromising start.

The show's Broadway cast recording is the top-streaming cast album of the 2018-19 season, last month hitting 100 million streams, with tracks from the musical used in over one million TikTok videos. Alongside Brightman, the Broadway cast currently is led by Sophia Anne Caruso, Kerry Butler, David Josefsberg, Adam Dannheisser and Leslie Kritzer. The musical features a book by Scott Brown and Anthony King, with an original score by Eddie Perfect.
