The world’s leading theater district — high-production live performances concentrated in a few blocks.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Broadway's 41 theaters in the Times Square district present the highest-budget productions in the English-speaking world. Current long-runners, new premieres, and revivals rotate constantly. TKTS in Times Square and Duffy Square sell same-day discounted tickets (often 20–50% off) for shows that haven't sold out. Lottery and rush tickets offer front-row seats from $30—$40 for popular shows. Tuesday through Thursday evenings and Wednesday matinees are the easiest tickets. The Theater District is most atmospheric on a weeknight when the marquees light up after curtain.
