Kids’ Night on Broadway is back and better than ever! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 20, as this exciting event returns, offering children a chance to experience the magic of Broadway for free.
The Broadway League’s annual program allows kids aged 18 and under to attend a Broadway show at no cost when accompanied by an adult who buys a full-price ticket. This offer means you get 50% off each ticket when purchasing them as a pair.
This year, 19 fantastic shows are participating in this special promotion.
Jason Laks, interim president of The Broadway League, shared his excitement about the event: “Kids’ Night on Broadway … [creates] a wonderful occasion for children, teens, and families to experience a night out in New York City and enjoy a Broadway show. Featuring a variety of 19 extraordinary shows, Kids’ Night on Broadway creates an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to live theater and cultivate their interest and enjoyment of the arts from an early age.”
