Broadway ticket sales rake in over $1 billion annually. In fact, in a single year, Broadway shows will sell more tickets than all the area\u2019s sporting events combined (Knicks, Mets, Rangers, Yankees, etc.). To put that into perspective, let\u2019s compare that with another giant showbiz industry, Hollywood. The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King have each grossed more than $5 billion, just on ticket sales. That\u2019s more than Avatar and Titanic combined, and more than the six Star Wars films combined. So what exactly makes or breaks a Broadway production? While that answer is dependent on a number of factors, one thing is certain: receiving a Tony Award, or even just being nominated, is a huge win for a show.<\/p>\n

To investigate the impact top Tony Awards ‘Best Musical’ and ‘Best Play’ have on the shows that win them, we dug a little into the past. For each winning show from the last 10 years, we compared the change in revenue, number of tickets sold and admission price 20 weeks prior the Tony Awards, to 20 weeks post the awards. To dive even deeper, we also examined the data before and after winning other major Tony Awards, such as ‘Best Performance by an Actress\/Actor in a Leading Role’, ‘Best Direction’, ‘Best Revival of a Musical’ and more.<\/p>\n

So which Tony\u2019s are the most rewarding? Does having a Tony-winning lead actress or lead actor generally drive up a show\u2019s gross revenue? Get the answers to these questions and so many others in this infographic that explores what a Tony award is worth to a Broadway production!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

After graduating with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Anthropology and Geography, she set off to explore the world - one extraordinary experience after the other. A writer and travel enthusiast, she has an insatiable hunger for the unfamiliar - a trait that regularly has her venturing off to locations across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the US. From sipping wine in a Florence cafe to standing just feet away from an active volcano in Ethiopia, she thrives off immersing herself in exciting experiences. You\u2019ll most likely find her lost in a local market, next to a beach, or on the hunt for street food. She loves adrenaline, coffee, and will eat anything at least once\u2026 yes, even roasted rat, a Ghanaian delicacy.","url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/stephanie\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3687"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3687"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":163855,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3687\/revisions\/163855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
