What the comparisons tell you
Performance count measures how long a particular run lasted. Gross receipts are nominal ticket sales, with no adjustment here for ticket price changes or inflation. Tony wins count awards in a season and are affected by which categories a production could enter. Use the record that answers the question you care about.
