A History of Broadway Grosses
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Sep 6, 2026

Historically, this data has been tracked for over a century. The collective data of many shows’ grosses over previous seasons presents patterns which contribute to ticket pricing decisions and scheduling decisions, such as when a limited run should plan to open and close. The grosses guide Broadway marketers and advertisers in every day decision-making as well, giving data to base spends and new placements on.
