Broadway
Now, while it’s literally true that Broadway itself is just one street of so many on New York City’s Island of Manhattan, anyone who knows anything about theater will be aware that this long diagonal thoroughfare has given its name to the most famous theater district in the history of the world. Broadway is now most often used to refer to 41 professional theaters clustered around Midtown Manhattan that host theatrical plays, musical theater, and other dramatic productions (theater that occurs outside these “Broadway theaters” is even referred to as “off-Broadway,” a distinction that has a whole cool sound of its own). Many of the world’s most-renowned playwrights and composers (George Bernhard Shaw, Arthur Miller, George Gershwin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Tennessee Williams) have written for the Broadway stage, and many of history’s finest onstage talents (John Gielgud, Julie Andrews, Lea Salonga, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Barbra Streisand, Hugh Jackman, Alan Cummings) have dazzled generations of Broadway audiences. If you find yourself in the Big Apple, do not miss out on a trip to see a Broadway show, an experience that you and your family will never forget.
