Coming from abroad and growing up in a very different atmosphere than New York City, I was always fascinated by everything New York had to offer. The tall buildings, city lights, and eccentric performances. The city will fill everyone with a sense of joy despite the life of hustle. New York is named the city of dreams. Well, it is still true that after some time these thrills became daily life, and the daily life tends to bore soon afterward. One thing that I would never get tired of is the live performances, and there are no other live performances than in New York City. TO begin with, nothing beats the story of Alexander Hamilton or Lion King. Here, in this project, there will be a guide through the theaters, shows, and locations of the Broadway theaters that are offered in the city. The popular ones, the most played ones, the oldest played shows, and many more

One of the Most Popular Tourist Attraction Of New York City are the Broadway Theaters. With 500+ seating and geographically locating between 41st Street and 54th Street and between 6th and 8th Avenues in Manhattan are known as Broadway Theaters. A theatre is classed as an off-Broadway theatre if it has a capacity of between 100 and 499 seats and is located in Manhattan. In this Map, there are list of both Broadway and Off- Broadway Theaters. Have you been to one? Lets look at the details

The ticket prices are much more expensive due to the high production costs. They can even go as high as $75 million as reported by Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark if special effects or more famous actors are cast. Despite the high-ticket prices, the average number of attendances by the Broadway theatregoer was 4.4million in 2019.

The Lion King, Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera are the biggest grossing productions of all time. The Phantom of the Opera has been running in the last 32 years till this date.
