The value of performing arts is intangible and difficult to assess in a quantitative way. However, economic value assessment is particularly necessary considering the practical need for specific assessment indicators and operational measurement boundaries for benefit assessment in the cultural field. Broadway plays an important role in the cultural and economic of New York City. It not only provides high-quality cultural and entertainment activities, but also injects strong economic vitality into New York City, fully realizing the function of a venue with a holistic character of interaction between the cultural level and the economic level. The analysis of Broadway's annual report helps to enrich the dimension of understanding of the performing arts by the public funding sector, private patrons, and the general public, and also helps arts production organizations to realize their broad and deep value as sites of cultural participation from a quantitative perspective.
