Of the total audience increase of 650,000 over 2004, according to the League's data, it's important to realize that ticket sales for plays alone were up by 530,000. That means that four out of every five additional tickets sold this year were for a play. Clearly there is still a place for plays on Broadway, and hopefully this success will result in even more in coming seasons.
