When Schmigadoon! begins previews on April 4th, 40 of 41 Broadway theaters will have shows.
When The Lost Boys opens on April 26th, there will be 40 productions running simultaneously.
Is this a first? Now that the Hudson Theatre is back in operation and there are 41 eligible venues, I don’t recall a time when 40 shows were running at once. I’m sure it’s happened before, but not in my memory.
Once Every Brilliant Thing closes on May 24th, that won’t be the case, but for about a month, Broadway will have 40 shows open at once.
Does anyone else find this fascinating?
It’s too bad the Shubert Theatre is dark this spring.

It actually happened last spring, I believe, and would've actually been 41/41 if A Wonderful World, had made it a little longer to overlap with GGR at the Palace and Floyd Collins at Lincoln Center. There's an old thread about it on here somewhere.
