NYC Broadway Tour: Backstage Stories & Theater Secrets

Your tour begins outside the historic Winter Garden Theatre, directly beneath its iconic marquee. From here, you’ll make your way into Times Square, an area once known as Longacre Square—a lively, rough‑around‑the‑edges district that was transformed in the early 20th century into the dazzling heart of American theatre.

Just a stone's throw away from Times Square lies the lesser-known Duffy Square. This is where the TKTS Booth is located, and where hundreds of people enter daily ticket lotteries, making it an essential part of the Broadway experience for the public!

Broadway is everything you could imagine - bright lights, colorful posters, marquees adorned with your favorite performers' names, and historic, iconic theaters. This is where fame is made, hits are born, and creativity thrives! On this tour, we'll walk down Broadway, while your guide provides you with the historical background of the theaters you pass by and the productions that have graced the avenue over the years.
