Bryan Cranston's critically-acclaimed Broadway turn in All the Way has official become a theatrical success after recouping its $3.9 million (£2.44 million) costs.

The Breaking Bad star has been portraying former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson in the political drama since the play's grand opening in March (14), and days after the cast and crew celebrated their 100th performance, the show is now turning a profit.

And the success continues to build - All The Way, which runs until the end of the month (Jun14), is for a top awards at Sunday's (08Jun14) Tony Awards - it is nominated for Best Play, while Cranston is shortlisted for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.

The production, written by Robert Schenkkan, recently triumphed at the 2014 Drama League Awards, claiming the Distinguished Production of a Play title.
