Times Square: Then and Now

Theatre

In the past hundred years, the word "Broadway" has entered our international consciousness - the word doesn't just say theater - it screams theater. An inimitable form of theater never before performed; like Times Square itself, Broadway's shows represent the biggest, the brightest, and the most of their kind - popular live theater at its most popular.

The dazzling lights of the Great White Way's theaters have fascinated fans nationwide for over a century, drawing our collective imagination like moths to a flame - or rather, to a blazing neon sign. To attend a Broadway show is to be part of an event that millions travel from around the world to enjoy, and millions more simply dream about - purchasing soundtracks, watching awards shows, and catching performances by touring companies, satellite productions and movie adaptations when they hit town.

But there's nothing that can compare to the real thing. Hearts simply beat faster when the overture sounds and a Broadway curtain rises. For locations and contact information for any of Times Square's 22 landmark Broadway theatres, please visit the Theater sections of our Interactive Map and Guides.
