Summarizing the Broadway Season

StageMoney.Net: Financially, the Broadway season that just ended was not great. Income and attendance were down a bit. Forty shows opened in the 2012-2013 season compared with forty-one new shows in the 2011-12 season, 42 in the 2010-11 season, and 39 in the 2009-2010 season. Productions from the three not-for-profit Broadway theaters, the so-called "super-NFPs," increased to ten from just seven shows the season before. The number of productions from the super-NFPs had been declining with ten in 2010-11 and 2009-10 and 15 in 2008-2009. (In addition, there were six special events, meaning short-run concerts or fund raisers, and two shows that came to Broadway as part of national tours and so were capitalized separately from their Broadway outing.)
