The Broadway grosses provide valuable information that can give insight into everything from what producers and investors choose to bring to Broadway next to what show might have a discounted ticket available for the average theatergoer. 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.
