Who came to Broadway this year?

PRODUCER’S PERSPECTIVE: "Just in time for the holidays, it's the Demographics of the Broadway Audience Report for 2008-2009! As I did last year, I'll give you the Cliff's Notes version of the document here, but try and get your hands on a copy of the complete report if you can. Because despite what we all thought in high school, the Cliff's Notes version ain't as educational as the real thing."

With two thirds of the audiences coming from out of town, and a fifth of those coming from another country, it sounds like the real cost of attending a broadway show is more travel and lodging than the ticket price. I'd be interested to see the entire report at some point to see how some of the other trends run, but overall it sounds like the general trend is that theater goers are people (or couples) who can afford to go to New York to see a show several times a year, often at her suggestion.
