A LIVE BROADWAY ADDRESS WITH KEN DAVENPORT · JULY 21, 2026 · 5PM ET · LIVE + REPLAY
The State of the State of Broadway in 2026
We can’t make things better if we don’t know where we stand.
100% no cost - seating is limited to 100 attendees
Here's what we're going to cover:
How we're really doing at the box office.
Last season on Broadway crossed $1.9 billion – a record. But there's a fascinating story underneath that number. We’ll take a look at what data actually says, and the opportunity it points to.
Who's in the seats now (it's not who you think).
The Broadway audience is changing. Fast. Younger. More diverse than it's been in 30 years. And more global than ever. We’ll take a look at who's showing up in 2026, and what it means for the shows we make next.
What's working . . . and where it's coming from.
There's a gap opening up on Broadway. The top is soaring. The middle is getting squeezed.
The forecast for the 2026-27 season.
We’ll take a look at where next season is headed and what that means for the future of Broadway.
