Broadway Theatre Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the Broadway Theatre in 2026?

Broadway Theatre experiences range from walking tours that highlight Broadway theatres to attending a live Broadway performance. Tickets for guided walking tours of the Broadway Theatre district start from US$42 per adult and US$39 per child aged 4–12. Tickets for a live Broadway performance range from US$53.63 to US$147.50 per person, depending on the show, performance time, and seat location.

Q: How can I get tickets for Broadway in New York City?

You can buy tickets for a Broadway show in New York City several ways. Buy tickets online directly through a theater’s website or its official ticketing office site. Call an official ticket vendor, such as Telecharge or Ticketmaster. Or, go to a theater’s box office and buy tickets in person.

Q: How much does the average Broadway musical cost?

Expect to pay anywhere between US$20 and US$140 (or more) for a ticket to a Broadway musical. What you pay will depend on the particular theater, the show, the seat location, when you buy, and whether you’re an adult, student, child, or entitled to another discount.

Q: Can I wear jeans to a Broadway show?

Yes, you can wear jeans to a Broadway show. There’s not usually a specific dress code to attend a show, and people wear a wide variety of clothing. However, many people opt for smart-casual or low-key evening wear to make going out to see a show feel like an event.

Q: What’s the best Broadway show?

Deciding what is the best Broadway show comes down to your own preferences, but some popular, long-running shows are Hamilton, The Lion King, Chicago, Aladdin, The Book of Mormon, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Read reviews of shows that are currently playing to decide what appeals to you.

Q: Where is the best place to sit at a Broadway show?

The best seats in a Broadway theater are center-orchestra seats (not too close to the stage) and front mezzanine seats. Side seats and seats in the back may not have the best views, but they’re usually cheaper. The type of show you’re seeing also makes a difference in seat selection.

Great way to spend an afternoon!

The guide was very good, humorous and informative. We saw some iconic theaters and heard some great stories and inside jokes. It would have been good to hear more about the architectural features of the beautiful and historical buildings in which some of the theaters were housed.
