Broadway Has A Record Year

“Revenue jumped 8.9 percent to $939 million and attendance rose 2.6 percent to 12.3 million for the season that ended on Sunday. The League of American Theaters and Producers, Broadway’s trade association, also said playing weeks — the number of shows multiplied by weeks they’re open — was the second highest on record at 1,509. The record for playing weeks was set in 2002-03, when ‘Hairspray” opened.”
