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.

Much has been written and expressed about how few new Broadway musicals—six—hit the boards last season. The Broadway landscape is experiencing several challenges at the moment, largely tied to the American economy as a whole. In addition, the number of new musicals per season always fluctuates.

Theatre has always intersected with politics, and the presence of American presidents in Broadway, off-Broadway, and regional theatre plays and musicals is a major part of this. Did you know that all of our heads of state have been featured in shows, whether as characters or as plot points that are part of the action? Dramatizing current and former leaders of our nation is a way to examine their affect on society at the time and how political events, even those of many years ago, still impact us all.
