Broadway New York
The Times Square Theater District is made of 39 independent theaters. "Broadway" itself cuts through Times Square and although most of the theaters are not located on the famous boulevard, the name has been synonymous with quality theaters production for three generations. You'll find the theaters within walking distance of one another on the streets that intersect with Broadway between 41st and 53rd streets. The nation's best actors are here continuing a long tradition of excellence in drama, music and dance.

A Broadway show is an absolute must during your visit to New York City. You may also want to come back during the day for self-guided audio tour of Broadway. These aren't poorly produced cassettes of dull voices reading stale information. This is Broadway! The audio tour is creatively produced, recounting the history, the scandal and the glamour of New York City theater. Some of the individual theaters offer daytime tours, and if you are lucky you can find some great bargains by purchasing tickets on the day of the performance. Be advised, however, that hit shows are generally sold out months in advance. So if you are hoping to see this season's hit, you will want to make your purchase early.
