A few things come to mind when formulating a list of must-do New York City things: See the Statue of Liberty. Visit Central Park. Stroll the boroughs. And on that list—possibly at the top—is to see a show on Broadway.
The Big Apple’s reputation for live theater is earned every week as plays and musicals delight thousands day in and day out. There are many companies across the city that have groups covered when it comes to new and tried-and-true shows, behind-the-scenes tours and experiences, and ticketing packages and discounts. Here is a look at four of them:
