Sunday Matinees On Broadway

If you’re looking for a unique way to spend your weekend, why not squeeze in some extra entertainment with tickets to a Sunday Broadway matinee? The city that never sleeps has an exciting afternoon performance schedule for all tastes, from timeless family favourites The Lion King and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to modern award-winners Hadestown and Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Many of New York’s top Broadway shows throw open their doors between 1pm and 3pm on Sundays, and a relaxed and casual atmosphere makes it the best time for tourists and families to visit the theater before a new week begins. Even better: prices are often slightly cheaper than the hugely popular Saturday matinees on Broadway, so you can enjoy the best plays and musicals in NYC for less.
