Since 1996, more than 200,000 kids and teens have attended Broadway shows. Kids’ Night on Broadway – a year-round national audience development program of The Broadway League, presented by The New York Times, and intended to create a lifelong love of theater from a young age – returns this year on Tuesday, March 4; tickets are on sale now. The promotion offers children 18 and under free tickets to participating Broadway shows when accompanied by a full-paying adult. All guests must have a ticket to the show. The offer is applied as 50% off each ticket when purchased as a pair; no additional free tickets are added to orders.
Along with the ticket offer, there will be special in-theater activities and giveaways, including talkbacks, sing-alongs, art projects, Kids’ Night on Broadway activity books, and more. Those attending their first Broadway show can ask for “My First Broadway Show” stickers, available at participating theaters, which can be placed on their show’s Playbill.
The participating shows are: Aladdin; & Juliet; Buena Vista Social Club; Chicago; *The Great Gatsby; Gypsy; Hadestown; Hamilton; Harry Potter and the Cursed Child; Hell’s Kitchen; The Lion King; Maybe Happy Ending; MJ; Moulin Rouge!
