Broadway Season Tops $1.9 Billion as Ticket Prices Lift Revenue

Rising average ticket prices drove the modest gain while attendance slipped slightly.

Overview

  • The Broadway League reported Wednesday that the 2025–2026 season grossed $1,910,903,835 with about 14.6 million tickets sold.
  • Grosses rose about 1.0% from the prior season while attendance fell about 0.6%, a comparison complicated by the prior season having a 53rd week.
  • The season ran through May 24 and comprised 74 productions, 13,416 performances and an average capacity of 90.8 percent.
  • Plays had a higher average ticket price than musicals, with the season average at $131.09 and musicals accounting for roughly 77% of tickets sold.
  • Daniel Radcliffe’s final performances of Every Brilliant Thing generated a $2.296 million week and set a Hudson Theatre record, illustrating how short-term star turns can sharply boost box-office results and local economic activity.
