I’ve always seen Broadway as a kind of benchmark for where theater is at, not just in terms of quality but in terms of what the industry values. So when I heard that this season was the highest-grossing in Broadway history, it definitely caught my attention. It was encouraging to see that audiences were coming back in such big numbers and that live performance is still drawing crowds in a major way. 

The past month represented the strongest May grosses in Broadway history, with each week being well over the $40 million mark for the second month in a row. These grosses were high enough to make the 2024-2025 Broadway season the highest grossing season in history, beating the 2018-2019 season.
