The record-breaking audience member was Yvelisse Fermin from Flushing, Queens.
In a statement producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris said, "We’ve always said that the most gratifying part of producing this show is seeing the amazing audience reaction night after night. It is mind-blowing that more than one-million audience-members have already walked through our doors, and we look forward to welcoming millions more.”
