Experiencing Broadway performances is already life-altering. A song, a line, a performance - it just takes one special moment. My son and I really loved this. This tour is about the elements in the creative process. The discussion and storytelling is both inspiring and educational. Embrace the Open Jar! (Note: it is wheelchair accessible :) )

This was fantastic! I learned so much about the entire Broadway process. I was the only one on the tour and it was a blast. Highly recommend!

Hugh was a great guide. He told us lots of interesting anecdotes throughout the tour and was very entertaining and engaging for our young theatre kids too. The spaces we saw were impressive and it was fascinating to learn about behind the scenes on Broadway. An awesome tour for any theatre fan.
