TESTIMONIAL:
“My son and I are most grateful to both of you for a delightful weekend. Our shows were so much fun. The theatre tour was fascinating. And the meals were excellent – far better than I expected.
You took wonderfully good care of us. It was one of the best trips I have made in some time. I have a lot of happy memories about this tour and my son was thrilled by the experience. Thank you very much.”
– Robert L. & Son –Broadway Across America Guests
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
Broadway Across America is excited to announce the return of our “Take the Kids to Broadway!” experience specifically with the kids, grandkids, nieces or nephews in mind who would love nothing more than to experience a Summer 2025 weekend in New York City.
This could be just the birthday or graduation gift you are looking for – the ultimate adventure next summer to the Big Apple, including great tickets to three of Broadway’s top new shows including SMASH the Musical, Stranger Things, The Outsiders, & Juliet, Wicked, Harry Potter, Six, MJ, Aladdin and The Lion King –
Offered with four sets of summer date choices, this trip is loaded with fun stuff that you and the kids will both enjoy, featuring the same premium level of service that hallmarks all our theatre excursions. Roundtrip airfare, private town car service, 4-diamond accommodations, a welcome dinner, our Q & A lunch with Broadway actors sharing their journeys to Broadway exclusive tour experiences and more.
Speaking of destiny… a Broadway destiny seemed a certainty the moment Harry Potter and the Cursed Child became a remarkable success story in London’s West End just a few years ago. And now the story of the world’s most famous young wizard is in full magical effect on Broadway – and with similarly spectacular acclaim and box office success.
And then there’s Wicked, the “ever green” smash Broadway success which introduces the witches of Oz before Dorothy dropped in. With a broad appeal across demographics, Wicked might just be the one “must see” show choice among the options offered in this package.
And for some, one or both of the Disney’s classics – The Lion King or Aladdin – might be just the right fit.
And there might be a teen in your life who can’t wait to see SE Hinton’s landmark novel The Outsiders brought to life on a Broadway stage.
Or it could be a show the “adults” really want to see on this trip like Hamilton or Hadestown.
Our “Take the Kids to Broadway!” excursions will really have you looking forward to next summer – with the promise of excellent show tickets, exclusive experiences and a lot of fun throughout your stay.
Leave the stresses of planning behind and let us put together a memorable excursion to New York City.
Come join us in summer 2025!
Show Overviews:
SMASH the Musical
Smash, inspired by the hit TV show, is finally coming to Broadway! A hilarious behind-the-scenes rollercoaster ride about the making of a Marilyn Monroe musical called Bombshell, it’s got all the iconic songs, kick-ass choreography, and backstage pandemonium that make Broadway the beloved institution it is today.
Helmed by five-time Tony Award® winner Susan Stroman, the SMASH cast is stacked. Who better to play a bunch of wannabe Broadway big shots than actual Broadway big shots? Among them: Robyn Hurder, Brooks Ashmanskas, Krysta Rodriguez, Bella Coppola, Jacqueline Arnold, Caroline Bowman, John Behlmann, Kristine Nielsen and Casey Garvin to name just a few.
Stranger Things
The Olivier Award-winning prequel to the hit Netflix series arrives on Broadway. Before the world turned upside down. Hawkins, 1959: a regular town with regular worries. Young Jim Hopper’s car won’t start, Bob Newby’s sister won’t take his radio show seriously and Joyce Maldonado just wants to graduate and get the hell out of town. When new student Henry Creel arrives, his family finds that a fresh start isn’t so easy…and the shadows of the past have a very long reach.
From Netflix and the multi-award-winning Broadway producer Sonia Friedman Productions comes Stranger Things: The First Shadow. Winner of two Olivier Awards including Best Entertainment, this landmark production is brought to life by an award-winning creative team including director Stephen Daldry (The Crown, Billy Elliot, The Inheritance, The Hours, The Reader) and co-director Justin Martin (Prima Facie, The Inheritance). With stunning special effects, extraordinary performances, and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this gripping, stand-alone adventure will take you right back to the beginnings of the Stranger Things story.
Wicked
Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
Visually stunning, Wicked boasts a soaring score from Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good, Tony Award-winning sets and costumes and some of the most gravity-defying moments on the Great White Way. Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.”
“The most complete, and completely satisfying, musical I’ve come across in a long time.”
Review by Elysa Gardner from USA Today
& Juliet
Created by the Emmy ® -winning writer from Schitt’s Creek,” this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & JULIET asks: what would happen if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo? Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning a second chance at life and life – her way.
The Outsiders
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1967, the hardened hearts and aching souls of Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and their chosen family of ‘outsiders’ are in a fight for survival and a quest for purpose in a world that may never accept them. A story of the bonds that brothers share and the hopes we all hold on to, this gripping new musical reinvigorates the timeless tale of ‘haves and have nots,’ of protecting what’s yours and fighting for what could be.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a new play by Jack Thorne, received its world premiere in June 2016 at the Palace Theatre in London, where it plays to sold-out houses.
The critically acclaimed play has won 22 major theatre awards in the UK and is the most-awarded play in the history of Britain’s prestigious Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking nine awards including Best New Play and Best Director.
Aladdin
The beloved Disney story is brought to thrilling theatrical life.
In the middle-eastern town of Agrabah, Princess Jasmine is feeling hemmed in by her father’s desire to find her a royal groom. Meanwhile, the Sultan’s right-hand man, Jafar, is plotting to take over the throne. When Jasmine sneaks out of the palace incognito, she forms an instant connection with Aladdin, a charming street urchin and reformed thief.
After being discovered together, Aladdin is sentenced to death, but Jafar saves him by ordering him to fetch a lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Where there’s a lamp, there’s a Genie, and once Aladdin unwittingly lets this one out, anything can happen! Will Aladdin’s new identity as “Prince Ali” help him win Jasmine’s heart and thwart Jafar’s evil plans? Will the Genie’s wish for freedom ever come true?
The Lion King
Pride Rock comes to life in Disney’s long-running hit.
A lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 Disney film, The Lion King is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands.
When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father’s life, Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king.
With a pulsing spectacle driven by primal African rhythms, unforgettable tunes (including Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”) and a jaw-dropping display of exotic African wildlife brought to life onstage, there are good reasons why The Lion King won a half-dozen Tony Awards in 1998. Intensely physical stage work and countless visual surprises hold your attention from start to finish.
