bring new money into NYC
The Broadway League released the 2008-2009 Broadway’s Economic Contribution to New York City report, the seventh biennial report in this series. The report measures the full economic impact of spending by Broadway production companies, theatre operators and those visitors drawn to NYC by Broadway.
