Are Broadway musicals suitable for kids?

When should I book my musical tickets?

What happens if my performance is cancelled?

You receive a full refund automatically. We email confirmation within 24 hours of the cancellation. There's nothing for you to claim.

What makes a Broadway musical different

Broadway sets the standard. Productions tour the country, transfer to the West End, and define the careers of writers, composers and performers worldwide. You're seeing the original.

Most Broadway musicals run eight shows a week (Tuesday to Sunday, with two performances on Wednesday or Thursday and Saturday). Wednesday matinees are usually the easiest seats to book; Saturday evenings are the hardest. Running times average 2 hours 30 minutes including a 15-minute intermission, though some long-runners run slightly longer.

Choosing the right musical

For a first Broadway trip, the long-runners are a safe bet: The Lion King, Wicked and Hamilton have been delighting audiences for years and rarely disappoint. For something contemporary, Six, & Juliet and Some Like It Hot punch above their weight on energy and design. For families, The Lion King, Aladdin and MJ the Musical have age-appropriate runtimes and content.

Read each show's page on tickadoo for runtime, age guidance, and the most-recommended seat sections. Every page also lists the theater's accessibility provisions and the nearest subway stop.
