Stranger Things: The First Shadow on Broadway Ticket

Are monsters born... or made? The most Tony Award®-winning play of the year: critics hail Stranger Things: The First Shadow as "a jaw-dropping, must-see theatrical marvel" (Entertainment Weekly) that makes you ask "how the hell did they do this?" (The New York Times) over and over again. In 1959 Hawkins, Indiana, the Creel family seeks a fresh start—especially their teenage son Henry, who is eager to escape his troubled past. Everything changes when he meets Patty, a fellow outsider, and their budding romance gives Henry hope for the first time. But when a wave of shocking crimes strikes the town, Henry is forced to confront a terrifying truth: is something inside him that connects him to the horrors unfolding around him? Note: The play is set within the world and mythology. A good guide would be to check if you and your party are comfortable with the level of content within the TV show. Under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Joe Turner's Come and Gone on Broadway Ticket

Golden Globe® winner Taraji P. Henson (The Color Purple) makes her Broadway debut opposite Cedric the Entertainer (The Neighborhood), returning to the stage in a luminous revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. Seth and Bertha Holly (Cedric and Henson) keep a warm, orderly home for those navigating uncertain paths. But when a mysterious man named Herald Loomis arrives with his young daughter, the stillness of the house begins to shift. As his past slowly unravels, long-buried truths come to light—and everyone within the house is called to reckon with the meaning of freedom, identity, and belonging. This timeless American classic is set in a Pittsburgh boardinghouse in 1911, during a pivotal era of migration and transformation. As people move in search of opportunity and renewal, they carry with them untold stories—of loss, resilience, and hope.

Jack and Rose’s story isn’t done. It’s Dion. From a basement Off-Broadway to an international phenomenon, Titaníque sails onto Broadway for its grandest voyage yet. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, this global splash hit reimagines Jack and Rose’s timeless love story aboard the ship of dreams through the French-Canadian eyes of someone who was totally there: Céline Dion! (Not the real Céline — but she would approve.) The superstar singer remembers the doomed romance with more shocking twists, mega-diva antics, and face-melting vocals belting her favorite hit songs – and not even an iceberg can stop her. Crazy times call for a kooky krazy musical extravaganza. With a story you’ll never let go, music you know by heart, and the Céline you need, you’d have to live at the bottom of the ocean to miss this strictly limited engagement.

Fantastic Show

We booked the tickets from Australia and were very excited when we finally arrived at the theatre on Broadway. I couldn't bring up the tickets on my phone but using the print out I had made of our booking reference, the box office staff were very helpful and printed out our tickets. We had great seats. The show was amazing and I highly recommend it. Afterwards it was very difficult to find a taxi to get back to our hotel. We walked several blocks away from Times Square to hail a cab.

Entertaining history lesson for lovers of Broadway!

The tour guide, Michael, was fantastic. Very energetic, knowledgeable and fun. He kept us engaged and motivated throughout the walk and despite being enthusiasts ourselves, we still learned a ton of the history that we hadn't gone back far enough to learn about previously. The three hours flew by, and there were enough a/c pit stops that we never felt overheated or overtaxed.
