And dear evan hansen, a show that exploded on social media, rocketing its lead into stardom. [music] hamilton is still a force to be reckoned with. Now it is not limited to new york city. The National Tour is in full swing, making its way across the country. Tours are important to broadway and to america. Last year they grossed a billion dollars on the road. More than 13 Million People saw shows on the road. Reporter now people are looking to figure out what is going to be the next big thing. There are already major contenders. Two of the biggest musicals to look forward to are mean girls with a script written by tina fey and frozen looking to be the next smash hit. The hottest ticket next year may not even be a musical. The play harry potter and the cursed child will make its debut in the spring, following a monumental run in london. With attendance topping 13 million and 1. 4 billion in revenue, 2017 was one for the books. Take a bow. It has been a starry season. Fox news from new york. That is for sure. Wonderful year on broadway. Also if you have the grandkids this week, childrens fairyland in oakland want to show it is a place for kids and kids at heart. Beginning today, it is grandparents week.
