One singular sensation

Planning to see a Broadway show on your own? You’re not alone—even though you will be at the show:

  • Solo theatergoers purchased nearly 20% of Broadway tickets, according to data from the Broadway League cited by NPR.
  • That’s double the rate of just a few years ago, NPR reported.

The rise of people who want to see a show without having to discuss it over an overpriced dinner in the theater district afterward reflects a broader cultural shift toward doing things alone. People are also traveling, eating at restaurants, and watching movies and concerts all by themselves in greater numbers, a social psychologist told NPR. Looks like we’ve all become a pack of loners.
