Musicals in New York

Broadway is one of the few things in New York that lives up to its reputation without qualification. The stretch of theaters around Times Square and Midtown Manhattan stages some of the most technically accomplished live performance anywhere in the world, and the shows on this page represent the current roster of long-running hits and new productions that have earned their place on the bill. Whether you're after a Disney classic, a hip-hop history lesson, or a sequined spectacle, Broadway tickets in New York are one of the best ways to spend an evening in the city.

What's On Broadway in New York

The catalog here covers a solid cross-section of what's currently running. The Lion King and Aladdin are the two Disney heavyweights, both long-running and reliably spectacular in terms of staging and production design. Wicked needs little introduction, now back on Broadway after its film adaptation brought a new wave of interest, and Moulin Rouge at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre is the most visually extravagant show on the list. Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre remains one of the most in-demand tickets in the city despite having run for years, and for good reason. Chicago the Musical at the Ambassador Theatre holds the record as Broadway's longest-running musical revival and is a strong pick for first-timers who want something slick and fast-paced. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Lyric Theatre is worth knowing runs at three hours, so factor that into your evening plans. For something seasonal, the Christmas Spectacular starring the Radio City Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall is a New York institution that runs from November through January.

Practical Tips for Attending a Broadway Show

Book as far ahead as possible for the highest-demand shows. Hamilton, Moulin Rouge, and Wicked in particular sell out weeks in advance, and premium seats go first. Most shows have a Wednesday matinee and two performances on Saturdays, which can be useful if your evenings are already packed. Doors typically open 30 to 45 minutes before curtain, and latecomers are generally held in the lobby until a suitable break in the performance, so build in extra time if you're coming from another part of the city. Bag checks and phone policies vary by venue, but most theaters ask that phones are silenced and put away during the performance. If you're bringing children, check the recommended age guidance on the individual listing since shows like Harry Potter and the Disney productions have different audience profiles to something like Chicago.
