Description

Step into the world of Broadway on this intimate walking tour, limited to just 12 theatre lovers. Begin in Times Square—once called Longacre Square—and discover how this vibrant district evolved into the epicenter of American theatre. As you explore iconic venues like the New Amsterdam, Richard Rodgers, Majestic, and Shubert Theatres, you'll trace Broadway’s journey from vaudeville to the Golden Age musicals, through its 1970s decline, and into its present-day revival. But the true magic lies behind the scenes. Venture into a working theatre studio in Hell’s Kitchen, where actors rehearse, choreographers create, and crews prepare for opening night. You may even catch a rehearsal or class in session. Along the way, hear stories of the unsung professionals—stagehands, understudies, creatives—whose passion powers every performance. More than a tour of famous theatres, this is an insider’s look at Broadway’s living heartbeat.
