"Everyone deserves the chance to fly" - WICKED The Musical

After 21 years, Wicked flies to movie theaters this week for its big screen debut! Our draws from Stephen Schwartz's iconic lyrics from the Broadway musical, giving us all a little inspiration. Will you be seeing Wicked during its opening weekend?

This wonderful group of women joined Green Team Guides Rhiannon and Tim on Sunday morning for our Shubert Brothers & Beyond Tour as part of their day trip to NYC. We loved hearing all about their Broadway show-going experiences from Rent to Starlight Express. It was the perfect group in which to end another great week!

What an awesome group who joined us to explore our Hudson Theatre Up Close Tour! Green Team Guide Brett was blown away by this inquisitive, kind crew of all ages on Sunday. The Congdon, Romeo, Kennedy, Henson, Butts, and Stanek groups came into the Big Apple from all over, ranging from California to Long Island. Thanks for the laughs and fantastic questions, everyone. We hope you love seeing your respective shows this evening, including Once Upon A Mattress, SIX on Broadway, Sunset Boulevard, and more!

Green Team Guide Kimmy spent a beautiful Sunday morning leading these wonderful folks on our Broadway's Beginnings Tour!

Thanks for all the great questions and high energy, everyone!

This excited group of students from King George Middle School joined us on Saturday afternoon for our Song & Dance Workshop just minutes after getting off their bus from Virginia. They sand and danced up a storm with Broadway's Clay Rice-Thomson (Wicked, Moulin Rouge) and Nissa Kahle (Chicago) before heading to dinner, WICKED The Musical, and then right back onto their bus back home. Thanks for including us in your quick NYC / Broadway visit, King George!

Saturday's Ghostlight Tour was spectacular! Green Team Guide Brett welcomed Peter back to our Broadway sidewalks by way of Canada. He will enjoy Sunset Boulevard, Maybe Happy Ending Musical, and The Big Gay Jamboree! Lifelong New Yorkers Isabelle and Lauren celebrated Lauren's birthday with this outing. We loved sharing spooky stories about their hometown, and hope to see them again soon!

These dancers from B. Funk Dance Company in Maryland joined us on Saturday morning for our Broadway Dance Workshops. They were movin' and groovin' with Broadway's Lauren Boyd (Hamilton) and Michelle Mercedes (MJ). The talent of these young dancers was something to behold and was the perfect catapult of energy into this weekend!

It was a nearly-sold-out New Victory Theater Up Close Tour on Friday afternoon led by Green Team Owner Tim! We were joined by a mix of BUC newbies and returning tour-goers. And Lauren Fong officially joined the 7-Timers Hall of Fame and got her star added to her name on her plaque at our Gift Shop. These smiling faces were a lot of fun and were enamored with the beauty of this 1900 theater!

These glorious theatre-lovers from Indianapolis joined us on Friday morning for our Meet The Artist Q&A after having seen The Great Gatsby Musical, The Notebook, and The Outsiders Musical. They sat down with Green Team Owner Tim and Broadway's Samantha Pollino (The Great Gatsby, Hamilton). We talked about the ins and outs of a life as an artist in NYC and the details of all the shows they'd seen. The laughs were plentiful and we could've talked to them for hours!

Green Team Guide Brady loved meeting this mother / son duo on Friday! Tyler and Cathy were so much fun, and extremely invested in our Broadway's Beginnings Tour. We were glad to have them back on our Broadway sidewalks during their ambitious and exciting show-going schedule. Tyler will be seeing 15 shows in 8 days, and Cathy 8 shows in 4 days during their trip to NYC!

Friday's Hudson Theatre Up Close Tour was amazing! We loved filling the halls of Broadway's oldest / newest theater with John, Marzio, and the G2 Travel group from Japan. This eclectic group brought fantastic energy and questions for Green Team Guide Brett about the world of Broadway. Thanks for exploring the Hudson with us, and happy show-going this weekend!

Craig and Susan were the perfect duo to spend time with on Friday's Ghostlight Tour! Green Team Guide Rhiannon loved telling these two our Haunted Broadway stories, especially about the iconic Olive Thomas. We especially loved stoking Susan's superstitious side on tour! We hope you two enjoy Swept Away: A New Musical Tale, The Hills of California, and the rest of your trip to NYC!

Barbara and Harry were a delight to meet on our Broadway sidewalks this week! This couple joined Green Team Guide Brett for Thursday's Shubert Brothers & Beyond Tour through our Theatre District.
