Traveling within New York City requires frequent walking and stairs. Please be prepared to walk up to two miles at a time. Walking several miles in a day is common but can be avoided via subways and taxis. Most broadway theaters are not ADA compliant and will require steep stairs to get to our seating. New York subways also have steep stairs. Most of the shows are approximately five blocks from our hotel in which our group will be walking. You are welcome to get a Uber/Lyft/Taxi anytime during the trip at your own expense. If you need assistance, we encourage you to bring along a companion who can assist with any needs you may have, as we are unable to provide caregiving or mobility assistance on our trips.
Broadway Shows
damn Yankees
Tony and Emmy Award winner Neil Patrick Harris, Emmy Award winner Julianne Hough, and Hamilton star Austin Scott come together in Tony Award winner Sergio Trujillo’s “damn-near-perfect reinvention” (The Washington Post) of Damn Yankees. Named one of the Best of the Year by The Washington Post, this American favorite is back home for the first time in 30 years. But never like this. What if you could have it all? Youth. Talent. Glory. For one average Joe, the chance to become baseball’s hottest new star is suddenly within reach. But when a deal too good to be true collides with a temptation he never saw coming, the life of his dreams could cost him everything he truly loves. Irresistible music. Breathtaking dance. The white-hot thrill of the game. Give in to the spectacular rush of Damn Yankees. Just remember… to keep your soul, you gotta have heart.
dolly: A True original Musical
From the top of the Smoky Mountains to the top of the world, DOLLY captures how she dreamed, dared, stumbled, and soared.
Featuring beloved hits including “I Will Always Love You,” “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “9 to 5,” along with new music written by Dolly for the show, and directed by Tony Award® winner Bartlett Sher with a book by Dolly Parton and Maria S. Schlatter, DOLLY: A True Original Musical takes you inside her life in the spotlight and the music that carried her there.
Galileo A New Musical
Galileo is the electrifying and explosive new Broadway musical about the man whose discoveries rocked our universe. When luminary Galileo (four-time Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza) peers into the heavens, what he sees challenges humanity’s understanding of the world. Unwilling to deny the truth, Galileo finds himself in a fight with the most powerful institution on Earth. As his trusted confidant Barberini (Drama Desk Award nominee Jeremy Kushnier) ascends to power, friendship leads to betrayal, and the dreams Galileo has envisioned for himself and for his brilliant daughter Virginia (Tony® nominee Joy Woods) begin to slip away. Belief, ambition, and love pull the trio out of orbit, each confronting what they’re willing to sacrifice for what matters most.
Paddington The Musical
The most award-winning new musical in West End history is playing to sold-out audiences and capturing the hearts of all ages. Now, Paddington is packing his suitcase and preparing for his next adventure: Broadway.In Paddington The Musical, a small, lost bear from Peru arrives in London in search of a place to call home. A chance encounter with the Browns leads him into an unexpected world of adventure, where kindness has the power to change lives and strangers can become family. But London isn’t all afternoon tea and friendly faces and even the seemingly happiest of families can have cracks beneath the surface. So, when a mysterious and vengeful villain sets her sights on Paddington, the Browns embark on a thrilling rescue mission, realizing they need this special bear as much as he needs them.
