Expert notes
- Broadway shows take place Tuesday through Sunday, 8 times a week, and 1 additional matinee performance on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Broadway is “dark” on Mondays. Want to meet actors/show performers? Wait outside the stage door; it's often possible to get autographs and photos while they're leaving after a live performance.
