The sampling, for the record, was about 5,000 people.<BR/><BR/>"From June 2006 through June 2007, the League’s Research Department administered surveys at 23 different productions at 72 individual performance times. Shows were selected on a quarterly basis to represent what Broadway was offering that season (i.e., a proportionate number of musicals versus straight plays; revivals versus original works; and new productions versus long-running shows). Questionnaires were distributed at multiple performances per show to account for variances in the weekday, weekend, evening and matinee audiences. Completed questionnaires were tabulated and weighted based upon the actual paid attendance for each show. In total, 10,800 questionnaires were distributed and 5,109 were returned, representing a 47.3% rate of return."<BR/><BR/>Any statisticians out there have a problem with that?Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-30593539355628676982007-11-06T11:08:00.000-05:002007-11-06T11:08:00.000-05:00Some say this might have something to do with the ...<I>Some say this might have something to do with the <B>perfect storm</B> of Wicked, Mary Poppins, Legally Blonde, and Spring Awakening.</I><BR/><BR/>Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!<BR/><BR/>HA ha ha ha ha ha!<BR/><BR/>BWAH HA HA HA HA HA!<BR/><BR/><cough>Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264458972722412509noreply@blogger.com
