New musical Paradise Square will close on July 17, after garnering a Tony win for its leading actress, but struggling at the box office.
The musical, which tells the story of Irish immigrants and Black Americans living together in New York City during the Civil War, opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on April 3. Since starting performances, the production has encountered a number of challenges, including performance cancellations due to Covid-19 cases in the cast, as well as low box office receipts throughout the run.
In the most recent week of grosses, ended July 7, the production brought in just 300,000 and played to a capacity of 55 percent. The show brought in its highest gross on record, 387,669, in the week following the Tony Awards, where Joaquina Kalukango took home the award for best leading actress in a musical and delivered a stand-out performance of “Let It Burn,...

Paradise Square, the musical that marked producer Garth H. Drabinsky’s Broadway return and won its lead actress a Tony but failed to catch on at the box office, will conclude its run at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre with the July 17 Sunday matinee.
The closing notice was announced today, with the caveat “barring a dramatic upturn in business.”
Such an upturn is unlikely: Even after star Joaquina Kalukango’s Tony win and her show-stealing performance of the song “Let It Burn” at the June 12 awards ceremony, the musical failed to ignite at the box office. For the week ending July 3, the Barrymore was filling little more than half of its seats, even at a modest average ticket price of 70.
