The Producers said: “Since its world premiere in February, and having broken all previous box office records at the Gielgud Theatre, the widely acclaimed The Audience has now grossed over £7.3 million. By the time it concludes its run The Audience will have been seen by Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Prime Ministers and Al Pacino.”
The record breaking production, directed by Stephen Daldry, concludes its run at the Gielgud Theatre later this week. While the entire run has been a sell-out success, a limited number of Day Seats go on sale from the Gielgud Theatre Box Office, in person only, from 10am on the day of each performance.
Earlier this year, The Daily Mail reported that there was "chatter" about The Audience transferring to Broadway next spring for a limited run. However, nothing has yet been confirmed. Read the full report here.
