TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD holds the record as the highest-grossing American play in Broadway history and has broken its own box office record for highest weekly gross eight times over at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway.

This event marked the largest attendance at a single performance of a play ever in world theater. The Broadway production resumed performances on October 5, 2021, at the Shubert Theatre starring Jeff Daniels and Tony Award winner Celia Keenan-Bolger. A production will begin performances in London's West End at the Gielgud Theatre on March 10, 2022, starring Rafe Spall.
