How many shows appear on Broadway each year?

Answer 1

This question comes from an internet Search Challenge (http://21cif.imsa.edu/tutorials/challenge/SC001/SC_001.swf) in which the goal is to select effective keywords and/or a relevant database to search. There are actually several web pages that answer the question authoritatively. Finding one of those requires being selective with search terms and substituting words that are more effective than those given in the question.

Answer 2

If by "shows" we mean musicals, at least 500. Of course it varies depending on if you count revivals of shows and Off-Broadway shows. I have recordings of about 550 shows, but that includes both revivals (around 60) and Off-Broadway, as well as a few London-only productions. I'd say the strictly Broadway shows with no revivals counted number at least 400. There are some obscure productions that closed quickly that would add to this count.

Answer 3

It depends on the year, there are 40 Broadway theaters, but the number of shows put on per year varies.

Answer 4

The exactly answer cannot be given, but in Broadway appears every year hundreds of shows, of different topics and kinds. Broadway gives to people a lot of shows every year.
