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.
