TheaterMania's nearest audiences are a tight cluster of New York arts, media, and civic institutions — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.

The shape is flat: the top 10 scores span only 0.99 to 0.97, a band of roughly two points. Playbill leads at 0.99, followed by BroadwayWorld at 0.99 and New York Public Library at 0.98. Playwrights Horizons (0.98) and Broadway.com (0.98) round out the theater-adjacent core. So far, the cluster looks like what you'd expect: theater-focused media and institutions. But the next five neighbors complicate that picture. The Tony Awards (0.98) fits the pattern; The Metropolitan Museum of Art (0.98) and MoMA (0.98) extend it into visual arts non-profits. Then NYC Mayor (0.97) and The Brian Lehrer Show (0.97) pull the cluster into New York civic and public-affairs media — a cross-kind presence that has nothing to do with theater as a subject.

Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: two Websites (BroadwayWorld, Broadway.com), one Magazine (Playbill), one Education org (NYPL), one Other brand (Playwrights Horizons), one TV Show (The Tony Awards), two Non-Profits (Met, MoMA), one Government Official (NYC Mayor), and one Podcasts and Radio (Brian Lehrer). No single subcategory dominates; the mix is genuinely heterogeneous.

What the shape reveals is that TheaterMania's audience is defined less by theater fandom alone and more by a broader New York cultural and civic identity — one that overlaps with museum-goers, public radio listeners, and followers of city government as readily as it does with Broadway devotees.
