Broadway Season Statistics from 2009-10 through 2022-23
List of the longest-running Broadway shows
The following graph and table are a summary of League statistical information for Broadway shows from the 1980-81 season to the present.
*Beginning with the 2009-10 season, "Gross" represents gross gross and "Attendance" represents total attendance. For seasons prior, these numbers represent net gross and paid attendance, respectively.
** Playing Weeks represent the overall number of weeks of performance logged by all shows during the season.
***To account for variances in the calendar year, a 53rd week is added to the season every seven years.
ˆThe 2018-19 season was the highest grossing and best attended season in recorded history.
ˆˆThe 2019-20 season was cut short by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to a complete shutdown of Broadway in March 2020. The season tallies for the 2019-20 season reflect performances through the week ending March 8, 2020, which was the last full week of performances of that season.
ˆˆˆThe 2021-22 season marked the return of Broadway after the industry-wide shutdown in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The start of the season was delayed by 10 weeks due to COVID, and the 42-week season saw numerous COVID-related cancellations of performances, including during the December/New Year’s holidays.
ˆˆˆˆThe 2022-23 season was the first full season since Broadway came back from the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. Shows continued to be affected by COVID, however the industry did not experience the extensive illness-related cancellations of the prior season. Tourism was stronger but not back to pre-pandemic levels, particularly in terms of international tourists. The season had fewer playing weeks and performances than in the (record-breaking) full seasons that pre-dated the shutdown, which contributed to lower attendance than in those seasons, but the % of capacity for the season was strong at more than 88%.
