Hear your little ones belting out show tunes in the shower? Find yourself putting your own spin on popular ballads? If so, it’s time to look into Broadway Week.
From Jan 16—Feb 4, Broadway producers and the kind-hearted folks at NYC & Company allow theater-goers to take advantage of two-for-one tickets to popular performances. There ain’t no business like show business, folks. This deal is so exciting, we just might bust a move like those dancers on stage.
Although there are plenty of plays and musicals out there that’ll suit your fancy, don’t forget bring your kids along for the festivities. If you’re thinking about some family-friendly options (or if you’re in the market for something for teens and an older audience), here is a list of the shows participating in Broadway Week:
