Broadway Box Office Rebounds Strongly in
Recent Months

The Broadway box office has rebounded strongly
in recent months, with many shows setting new
attendance records. This is a positive sign for the
Broadway industry, which was hit hard by the
COVID-19 pandemic.

The total box office gross for the 2022-2023

Broadway season was nearly $1.6 billion, which
is a marked improvement from the previous two
seasons. The 2021-2022 season grossed $845
million, and the 2020-2021 season was canceled
entirely due to the pandemic.

The rebound in the Broadway box office is due to
a number of factors, including:
The return of tourists to New York City.
Tourists are a major source of ticket revenue
for Broadway shows.
The opening of new shows that have proven
to be popular with audiences. Some of the
new shows that have been well-received
include Hamilton, Hadestown, and Wicked.
The return of popular shows that had been
closed during the pandemic. Some of the
popular shows that have returned include
The Lion King, Aladdin, and Chicago.
