Broadway Theatre
The theatre in New York City is located in Times Square. Times Square is one of many New York City’s “squares” that are actually triangles formed by the angle of Broadway slashing across a major avenue – in this case it crosses 7th Avenue at 42nd Street. Times Square is known as the Crossroads of the World, the Great White Way, and the New Year’s Eve Capital of America.
How To Get There
It is very easy to get to Times Square. Any form of public transportation will get you there for $1.50. All the subways converge at Times Square/42nd Street, and there is also access by bus.

Most shows are performed each evening at 8pm except Monday. There are also matinee performances on Wednesday and Sundays around 2pm. You should check the New York Times Theatre Directory or call the theatre to confirm dates and times.
