Then, go “backstage” and see Sardi’s Restaurant to hear the traditions of Broadway known only to experts and insiders.
After that, you'll explore more of Broadway’s notable theaters including the St. James and New Amsterdam, delving into the stories behind iconic shows like "Oklahoma!" and "Beauty and the Beast."
Once you've heard all about Broadway, you'll step off Broadway to the New Worlds Stage and learn the inside story of how one block can make all the difference in a show’s legacy.
To wrap up your tour, you'll stop by current Broadway haunts like 54 Below and the Palm to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on how top talent is discovered for the New York City stage.
Finally, if you have tickets to an evening performance, your guide will direct you to your theater.
