Private Journey Behind Broadway Walk

Your private journey into the heart of New York City's legendary Broadway scene begins in Times Square, once known as Longacre Square. What was once a chaotic crossroads became the epicenter of American theater in the early 20th century. As you explore the neighborhood with your expert guide, you'll uncover how Broadway evolved from vaudeville houses and opera theaters into the global entertainment powerhouse it is today.

Stroll through the iconic Theatre District and visit some of Broadway's most celebrated venues. From the historic New Amsterdam Theatre, once home to the Ziegfeld Follies, to the Richard Rodgers, Majestic, and Shubert Theatres, each stop reveals pivotal moments in theater history. You'll learn about Broadway's Golden Age, its struggles in the 1970s, and the remarkable revival that shaped its modern legacy.

Next, leave the bright lights behind and explore the creative energy of Hell's Kitchen. In this neighborhood known for its Off-Broadway contributions, you'll visit a working rehearsal studio for an inside look at how productions come together. Depending on the day, you may catch a rehearsal, class, or soundcheck in progress.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share stories about the many people who make Broadway possible. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the dedication behind each production, from actors and understudies to stagehands, costumers, and producers.

Your private tour concludes back in Midtown Manhattan. You'll leave not just having seen the sights of Broadway, but with a new appreciation for the people, history, and passion that power its stage.
