It seems like the tourist season has properly began with a 6% increase in the total amount of people going to see a Broadway show. As a result, most shows stayed steady or saw a small increase in attendance. Most shows didn't see a drastic increase - in fact, only 4 shows saw an increase of 10% of more. Avenue Q (+18.5%) was the biggest gainer, followed by The Norman Conquests (+13.1%), The 39 Steps (+12.3%) and The Philanthropist (+11%). Only 5 shows saw a decrease in the visitor numbers, but none of the drops was significant. August: Osage County saw its first increase in a while (+7.3%), but it still has nearly 60% of its seats empty throughout the whole week. Musicals are still pulling the crowds in and Wicked once again was the show which brought in the most money - with just over $1.4 million.
