“The $11.2 billion included $8.95 billion in purchases by tourists from outside New York City who said that Broadway was a “very important reason” for their visit; $2.2 billion in expenses to mount and run Broadway shows; and $22.3 million in spending to renovate or refurbish some of the 40 Broadway theaters. Based on those figures Broadway helped generate $550 million in taxes to New York City during the 2010-11 season and support 86,000 jobs.”
