New York City buzzes with an electric state of motion and exhilarating entertainment options. Bright theater marquee lights and LED screens promise phenomenal storytelling on stage—soaring songs, authentic acting, and innovative choreography. For lovers of the performing arts and musical theater, a trip to NYC’s Theater District is a thrilling and sensory-rich experience.

Matinee and evening entertainment abound, including high production value, big-budget Broadway performances such as “Ragtime” at the Vivian Beaumont Theater, “Hadestown” at the Walter Kerr Theatre and “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)” at the Longacre Theatre. Fine-arts fans are also drawn to diverse, lower-budget off-Broadway shows (seating 499 or fewer patrons) such as “Heathers” and “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at New World Stages.
