The gross revenue of Broadway shows in New York declined by 2.4 percent in 2023/2024 over the previous season, remaining below the peak in sales reported before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, Broadway shows' gross revenue amounted to roughly 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2023/2024.
Considering the international fame of Broadway shows, it’s no surprise that such performances also built a significant social media fan base. As of 2024, Hamilton was the most followed Broadway show on Instagram, with almost 1.8 million followers. However, the Lion King claimed the top spot when it came to the most liked Broadway shows on Facebook, with around 2.8 million Facebook likes that year.

¹ The 2017/2018 season included 53 weeks. This is because every seven years a 53rd week is added to account for variances in the calendar year.
² The 2019/2020 season included 41 weeks rather than 52 due to the onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The week ending March 8, 2020 was the last full week of performances before the shutdown.
³ In the 2021/2022 season, Broadway shows gradually returned after the industry-wide shutdown started in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The season included 42 weeks, but 16 weeks reported several cancellations of shows.
