Best shows on broadway right now

Broadway shows are practically synonymous with New York City, and the word Broadway is often used as shorthand for theater itself.

Visiting the Great White Way means attending one of 41 large theaters concentrated in the vicinity of Times Square, many of which seat more than 1,000 people. The most popular Broadway shows tend to be musicals, from long-running favorites like The Lion King and Hamilton to more recent hits like Hadestown and Moulin Rouge!—but new plays and revivals also represent an important part of the Broadway experience.

There’s a wide variety of Broadway shows out there, as our complete A–Z listing attests. And for a full list of shows that are coming soon, check out our list of upcoming Broadway shows.
