NYTimes.com: Attendance at Broadway shows shrank by 6.2 percent during the 2012-13 theater season to its lowest level in eight years, with theater producers blaming Hurricane Sandy as well as a weak lineup of musicals and plays during the fall and winter. Approximately 11.57 million people attended Broadway productions during the season, compared to 12.33 million in the previous one, according to statistics released on Tuesday by the Broadway League, the trade association of theater owners and producers. The last time that attendance numbers were so low was the 2004-5 season, which drew 11.53 million people.
