Sing Along With a Musical

Broadway is notorious for its wide selection of musicals. It is a form of theater that has been enjoyed for hundreds of years. If you love singing, dancing and bright, colorful costumes, then musical theater is right up your alley. There are different styles of musicals within the genre. If you’re an old school Ethel Merman fan, you can catch a revival of a classical show. If you’re into newer pop or rock music, check out one of the new musicals Broadway has to offer.

Watch a Play

If you think musicals are tacky, you might enjoy seeing a play more. A play is a show without music. While there are fewer plays than musicals, the plays running on Broadway are extremely high quality and feature the strongest actors. If you like to laugh, catch a comedy play. If you are into heavier topics, see one of Broadway’s dramas or political plays. Check NYC play reviews to find which Broadway play is the best for you.

Check Out a One Person Show

Every now and then, Broadway offers one-person shows. This is a show where one person acts, and sometimes sings and dances, alone on stage. These shows have a more intimate feel allowing the actor on stage to connect one-on-one with the audience. Usually, these types of shows are offered to well-known celebrities who have an impressive theatrical resume. Billy Crystal, Lily Tomlin and Sir Ian McKellen have all had solo shows on Broadway.
