List of the longest-running Broadway shows (updated at the end of each season)
The following graph and table is a summary of League statistical information for Broadway shows from the 1984-85 season to the present.
*Beginning with the 2009-10 season, "Gross" represents gross gross and "Attendance" represents total attendance. For seasons prior, these numbers represent net gross and paid attendance, respectively.
**Playing Weeks are calculated by counting the number of weeks during which each show performed in a given year, and then adding together each show's subtotal to determine the overall number of weeks of performance logged by all shows. The result is the best measure of Broadway's productivity (overall activity).
***To account for variances in the calendar year, a 53rd week is added to the season every seven years.
^The 2019-20 season was cut short by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to a complete shutdown of Broadway in March 2020. The season tallies for the 2019-20 season reflect performances through the week ending March 8, 2020, which was the last full week of performances of that season.
^^The 2021-22 season marked the return of Broadway after the industry-wide shutdown in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The start of the season was delayed by 10 weeks due to COVID, and the 42-week season saw numerous COVID-related cancellations of performances, including during the December/New Year’s holidays.
