Broadway

Introduction

Broadway is New York's and the world's most famous theater and musical destination. This iconic avenue and its surrounding Theater District house dozens of top-tier theaters staging the finest, most spectacular musicals and dramas year-round, the pinnacle of performing arts where "Broadway" itself has become synonymous with top-quality theater. Broadway Avenue is one of Manhattan's oldest, longest roads. In cultural terms, "Broadway" refers to the Theater District around Times Square, between roughly 42nd and 53rd Streets — about 40 world-class "Broadway theaters," mostly built in the early 20th century, each architecturally and historic. Year-round, these stages present the highest-caliber musicals and dramas — from The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Les Misérables and Hamilton to new works — with dozens of shows nightly. Neon-lit marquees, elegantly dressed audiences queuing, and post-show crowds flooding the streets form Broadway's classic image. The TKTS booth near Times Square offers same-day discount tickets. Attending a world-class musical or drama on Broadway is one of the ultimate New York (and global) cultural experiences.
