A Kids’ Night on Broadway ticket also includes exclusive discounts at select restaurants, in-theater activities for kids at certain shows (such as talkbacks, sing-alongs and art projects), activity books and more. 

Audience members attending their first Broadway show can collect a commemorative “My First Broadway Show” sticker at participating theaters. Wear your sticker or place it on your Playbill, so you’ll always remember the occasion! 

Kids’ Night on Broadway has been going on for 25 years, starting when Disney began moving into the Theatre District and family-friendly shows became more prominent on Broadway.

Jason Laks, interim president of the Broadway League, says “Kids Night on Broadway creates an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to live theatre and cultivate their interest and enjoyment of the arts from an early age.”
