Giant has recouped its $5.6 million Broadway capitalization.
The play, starring John Lithgow, Aya Cash and Elliot Levey, recouped its investment 10 weeks into its Broadway run, and while only playing seven shows a week from March through May. This was supported by high grosses throughout its run so far, with the play bringing in $1.2 million as of the week of May 10, with the theater playing close to capacity each week.
This is the latest play of the 2025-2026 season to recoup, following the Daniel Radcliffe-led Every Brilliant Thing, Waiting for Godot, with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, and Art, with Neil Patrick Harris, Bobby Cannavale and James Corden.
The play, written by Mark Rosenblatt and directed by Nicholas Hytner, began performances at the Music Box Theatre March 11.
Lithgow portrays children’s author Roald Dahl, as an executive from his publishing house comes to his home in order to try to get him to apologize for a book review he wrote which criticizes Israel, after the country’s siege of Lebanon.
