Supplementary notes

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 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.

Playing weeks refer to the total number of weeks of performance reported by each show. They are calculated by adding the number of weeks in which each show performed to the subtotal of each show in a given year.

Data prior to 2018/2019 were previously published by the source.
