Every trip to New York City comes with its own list of must-dos—those moments you’ll remember long after you leave

From taking in the skyline aboard the Staten Island Ferry or from the top of the Empire State Building, to hopping on a crowded subway, each experience adds to the city’s energy. And no visit is complete without grabbing a slice of classic New York pizza—it’s a small, simple pleasure, but it somehow feels like part of the city itself.

But Broadway? That’s a different kind of experience. It’s the kind of thing you’ll talk about for months afterward.

Something for Everyone

Whatever your interests, Broadway has something that will catch your attention. Families and younger visitors can get lost in the worlds of Disney, with favorites like The Lion King and Aladdin bringing songs and stories to life in bright, unforgettable ways. For those who like more modern storytelling, Hamilton offers striking music and a fresh take that appeals to all ages.

If you’re a fan of big, flashy musicals, productions like Moulin Rouge! The Musical deliver over-the-top sets and larger-than-life performances. Smaller shows, like Maybe Happy Ending, give you a more intimate experience with heartfelt stories and tender moments. Comedy lovers can enjoy gut-busting laughs in shows like Death Becomes Her and Book of Mormon while thrill-seekers can get a few jumps from suspenseful hits like Stranger Things: The First Shadow. With such variety, Broadway can entertain just about anyone, making it a highlight of any trip to the city.

Planning Your Broadway Trip

A little planning goes a long way. Matinees can make for a more relaxed schedule, while evening performances let you soak up the buzz of Times Square at night. Booking early helps you lock in the best seats and gives you more flexibility for travel, meals, and other activities.

Where you sit matters. Some groups love being close to the stage to feel part of the action, while others enjoy a wider view of the sets and choreography. Broadway Inbound can help with these decisions and also connect you with special group discounts and perks.

And if you really want to make the experience stand out, look into Broadway Inbound’s trip enhancements. Pre-show workshops and Q&A sessions with cast or creative teams turn a night at the theatre into something extra—fun, educational, and just plain memorable. With a little planning, your Broadway trip becomes more than a show; it becomes a true New York adventure.
