Along with London's West End theatres, Broadway theatres are widely considered to represent the highest level of commercially successful theatre in the English-speaking world.The Broadway Theater District is a popular tourist attraction in New York City. According to The Broadway League, Broadway shows sold a record US$1.36 billion worth of tickets in 2014, an increase of 14% over the previous year. Attendance in 2014 stood at 13.13 million, a 13% increase over 2013.The great majority of Broadway shows are musicals.
