Statement from Jason Laks, President of The Broadway League

Congratulations to the entire theatre community - onstage, backstage, front-of-house, and everyone who contributes to making the curtain go up 8 times a week - on a fantastic 2025-2026 Broadway season. As we release these season numbers, one thing is clear: audiences continue to have a deep passion for live theatre. Even in a challenging economic environment, Broadway remained notably on par with last season, reflecting both the resilience of this industry and the connection audiences feel to these productions.

Broadway is more than just entertainment. Every production supports not only the artists and crews on stage and backstage, but also the restaurants, hotels, retail shops, transportation workers, and small businesses that rely on the energy Broadway brings to New York City. Broadway remains one of New York’s great economic engines, supporting nearly 100,000 jobs throughout the region.
