FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2009 – 2010 Broadway End-Of-Season Statistics
May 24, 2010
The Broadway League has released end-of-season statistics for the 2009 – 2010 season, which began May 25, 2009 and ended May 23, 2010. For the 2009 – 2010 season, Broadway shows yielded $1.02 billion in grosses, and total attendances reached 11.89 million.
Grosses are up 1.5% from last season's absolute numbers (which do not include estimates*). Attendance is down 3.0% from the 2008 – 2009 season, also using absolute numbers.
Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League, said, “Using the numbers we know, grosses were up 1.5% over last season. However, if we factor in estimated figures for Young Frankenstein which ran 32 weeks in 2008 – 2009, we could be down slightly this season – perhaps as much as 1.0% in grosses. In any case, we are thrilled that even in this current economic climate, our numbers are strong thanks to the vibrancy of this season's offerings.“
During the 2009-2010 season, 39 shows opened (11 new musicals, 14 new plays, 6 musical revivals, and 8 play revivals).
