Broadway shows per year...

Sure...

Although my lists include repeat viewings of shows, I don't have one saying how many DIFFERENT ones:

1995 (2)
1996 (5)
1997 (8.)
1998 (9)
1999 (13)
2000 (15)
2001 (27)
2002 (17)
2003 (38.)
2004 (48.)*


although the 2004 number is obviously still in progress



Edit: Had to fix the 8s

is there somewhere I can find a list of what shows were playing each year? that might help me figure it out

Do you only want Broadway specifically or do you also want us to include Off-Broadway, regional productions, national tours as well? I ask because all of the above can be roughly the same from a quality perspective (all would be Equity productions). For example this year's Tony winners for Best Play and Best Musical -- I Am My Own Wife and Avenue Q -- both originally played Off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway houses. If someone saw them Off-Broadway, but didn't see them after they transferred, should those shows be omitted from the list? Productions by major regional houses can be every bit as good as anything playing on Broadway and many times the national touring company of a Broadway show is as good as, if not better than, the original Broadway production.

This is starting from when I was 6.
1998-2
1999-0
2000-1
2001-1
2002-1
2003-2
2004*-5

Originally I was referring to only broadway, but if you want to include off-broadway, regional, and tours, that's fine. :)

thanks everyone who's participated so far!

Here's what I could figure out quickly:

2000 -- 53
2001 -- 65
2002 -- 61
2003 -- 64
*2004 (so far) -- 53* (another 12-15 or so to come by the end of the year)
