Broadway Theater Tickets

Broadway in 2025 is a strong year for both musicals and plays. The long-runners keep filling houses: The Lion King at the Minskoff, Wicked at the Gershwin, Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers, The Book of Mormon at the Eugene O'Neill, Chicago at the Ambassador, MJ the Musical at the Neil Simon and Aladdin at the New Amsterdam all play eight shows a week. New musicals and limited-run plays open on a rolling basis, often starring stage names you recognise from film and television.

The grid above reflects what is on sale through tickadoo right now. Use the Musicals, Plays, Family and Comedy chips at the top of the page to narrow by genre, and the price-range chips to filter by budget. For specific titles, tap through to the show page for seating plan, running time, age guidance and the next available performances.

A common surprise for first-time visitors is that the 41 Broadway theaters are not on Broadway itself. The district spans roughly 40th to 54th Street between Sixth and Eighth Avenue, with the highest concentration on 44th, 45th and 46th Street. Each house has its own character. The Gershwin is the largest, at 1,933 seats across a steep balcony that rewards the front mezzanine. The Minskoff has unusually clean sightlines from the orchestra. The Richard Rodgers is where Hamilton has played every performance since 2015. The Eugene O'Neill, home to The Book of Mormon, is an intimate 1,108-seat house where every seat feels close to the stage.

If a show is playing at a specific house for a long run, the theater itself becomes part of the experience. Older houses like the Lyceum (1903) and the New Amsterdam (1903, home to Aladdin) have the full lobby, chandelier and gilded proscenium treatment. Newer renovations, like the American Airlines Theatre, are cleaner but less ornate.

The single most useful thing to know about Broadway seating is that the front mezzanine is usually better value than the rear orchestra. You sit slightly above the stage, the full set is in frame, and prices are often 20 to 40 percent lower. For big musicals with large choreographed numbers, front mezzanine is actively the best seat in the house.

For the lowest prices, look at Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday matinees, weekday evenings during the first week of a new run (preview performances), and upper balcony rows at the long-runners. For splurge seats, row C to G of the orchestra is the classic choice, with row D commonly considered the sweet spot at most houses. The tickadoo seat map shows every available seat live, with view-from-seat photos on most productions and a clear price-per-seat view so you can compare options quickly.

Broadway is densely packed into a walkable district, which makes a two or three-show trip easy to pull off. A typical pattern is a Friday evening show, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday matinee, with dinner in between. If you want to see a specific star, check their performance schedule. Many principal roles are covered by alternates on matinees and at the back end of a run.

The subway is the fastest way in and out of the district. The 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W and S trains all stop at Times Square 42nd Street, and the A, C and E trains stop at 42nd Street Port Authority. Both stations are a two to five minute walk from every theater. Driving is not recommended unless you are staying at a hotel with parking, since the district is closed to general traffic on show nights. Hotels on 8th Avenue or in Hell's Kitchen are often cheaper than Times Square proper and still a five-minute walk to the houses.

Most Broadway-district restaurants run a pre-theater prix-fixe from 5pm to 7pm. Two courses in 45 minutes, paced to get you to curtain. Reservations on Friday and Saturday are essential. Post-show, the bars on 9th Avenue and Restaurant Row (West 46th Street) stay open well past midnight.

Every Broadway house offers wheelchair accessibility, assistive listening devices and large-print or braille programmes on request. Most productions schedule open-captioned and audio-described performances on specific dates through the season. American Sign Language interpreted performances are run by Theatre Development Fund on a rotating basis.

Seating for wheelchair users is usually in the orchestra near an aisle. When you book on tickadoo, flag any access requirement in the notes field and our team confirms house-specific provisions before issuing the ticket.
