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.

As musical theatre continued to evolve, and more shows entered the canon, a consensus began to grow about shows being worthy of additional exploration even if they hadn’t been hits the first time around. What about musicals that had been ahead of their time, musicals that had fallen prey to circumstances, early works by writers who became successful later on, and of course, shows that found an audience after closing via their cast recordings?
