Broadway Shows set new records in 2006

Though January and February are typically quiet on Broadway, fans can take advantage of two things. First, discounted Broadway Tickets are the norm during this season rather than the exception. Second, fans can turn their attention to the 2006 Broadway wrap-up. Lots of Broadway shows broke records in 2006. Here’s a rundown of the top.
