The line separating Broadway and Off-Broadway is looking pretty blurry these days. Of the 10 new productions hitting the Great White Way this fall, nearly half are transplants from Off-Broadway. They're also coming with some big names attached, including performers like Melissa Etheridge and Daniel Radcliffe and behind-the-scenes talent like Barry Manilow.
While the number of shows opening this fall is down from last year, which saw 19 premieres, attendance seems to be up. According to the Broadway League, as of Aug. 27, season-to-date attendance is 3,477,302 with grosses totaling $428,851,846. That's up from 12 months earlier, when attendance for the season was at 3,130,420 and grosses were $403,854,867.
The fall lineup looks promising to keep Broadway's momentum going. Here are the season's hot new tickets.
