The Broadway Theatre District

Entertainment at Its Best

The Broadway Theatre district is situated in Midtown Manhattan. The area is dotted with Broadway theatres including restaurants, hotels, movie theatres and other entertainment venues in the vicinity.

The district begins from 40th Street to 54th Street, and extends from east of Sixth Avenue to west of Eighth Avenue, and includes Times Square as well. The area of Broadway which flows through the theatre district is commonly called the Great White Way. In ‘Theatre Row’, which is an area on 42nd Street from Ninth Avenue to Eleventh Avenue, comprises many Broadway theatres, may also be considered to be an extension of the Broadway Theatre District, although it is not considered so officially.

Broadway theatre, simply known as Broadway, refers to theatre performances acted out at one of the 39 large professional theaters located in Manhattan.
Broadway Theatre is the equivalent of London’s West End theatre, and is usually considered to showcase the highest quality of commercial theatre in the English-speaking world.

The theatre district is a popular tourist attraction in the city of New York. According to New York’s Broadway League, the Broadway shows have sold approximately $937 million worth of tickets in 2007 and 2008.

When in New York it is only natural to want to watch a Broadway show and these shows sell roughly a billion dollars worth of tickets annually contributing towards the tourist industry. In addition tourists who come to watch the shows in turn generate billions into restaurants and hotels.

A New York Hotel such as the Millennium Broadway Hotel New York is located in the heart of Times Square and offers easy access to Broadway theatres, Fifth Avenue and some fine dinning as well. Guests at this hotel could enjoy the Manhattan skyline from the spacious guest rooms and suites of this hotel.
