Chicago came in third, while the The King and I placed fourth, followed respectively by Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Pirates!

Overall 2012 attendance was close to last year's 362,851 patrons. There is speculation that the hot temperatures did not allow the 2012 season to surpass 2011's numbers. Note also that all figures include 1,500 free seats given away by The Muny for each performance.
