It’s a new Broadway record!!!
The 2025-26 Broadway season has officially ended and they have set a new record at the box office for a second year in a row. Over the past year, Broadway has brought in a total of $1,910,903,835, which is just $18,252,876 more than last season’s historic total of $1,892,650,959. There were a total of 13,416 performances across Broadway over the past 52 weeks. And musicals were vastly more popular with over 75% of tickets sold.
The Broadway League President Jason Laks spoke on the season via statement saying, “congratulations to the entire theatre community—onstage, backstage, front-of-house, and everyone who contributes to making the curtain go up eight 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.”
He continued, “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.”
