NYC Broadway Week: 2-For-1 Tickets Go On Sale

NEW YORK, NY — Ticket sales launched Friday for New York City Broadway Week, which offers theater lovers the chance to score tickets to two shows for the price of one, the city's tourism agency announced.

NYC Broadway Week will run from Jan. 16 through Feb. 4 and feature 19 shows, NYC & Company announced Friday. Some of Broadway's most popular shows such as "The Lion King," "Wicked" and "Phantom of the Opera" will participate in this year's promotion.

"New York City’s vibrant Broadway scene can’t be found anywhere else in the world, and visitors flock here to enjoy this authentic, only-in-New York City experience," Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company, said in a statement. "With our signature NYC Broadway Week program, we welcome visitors, meetings delegates and residents alike to experience the best of New York City’s performing arts at a value, and to help support the Broadway community this winter."

Here's a full list of this winter's NYC Broadway Week shows:

Seven of the shows are new productions, so NYC Broadway Week is a great opportunity to check out both long-running favorites and the latest crop of hit shows.

"With the variety of shows currently on Broadway, including long-running favorites, outstanding revivals, and brand-new productions that will delight family members of every age, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy," Charlotte St. Martin, president of The Broadway League, said in a statement.
