Social Insight Report - November 26th: THE PROM Sees Huge Growth!

With most ticket sales, purchasing decisions, and fan experiences happening online, a Broadway show's digital presence is more important than ever. In this feature, each week I'll analyze our exclusive Broadway Social Media data, highlighting the top growing plays, musicals, and upcoming productions.

While The Prom has been on top the last three weeks, this week the show saw almost 30% increase in social media growth! This can be most likely attributed to its historic performance on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! After making headlines across the country, it is no surprise to see such a large spike in their social media growth!
