Jon was the highlight of the tour. We arrived late, and he encouraged us to stay in touch so we could join at the second stop. He provided tons of information about plays as well as interesting tips about restaurants. He made the visit fantastic, allowing us to learn about the theaters, the plays, and the dynamics behind them. Thanks again for everything, Jon! You have two friends in Madrid whenever you want to visit!

Joe did a great job! Really appreciated him sharing his own personal stories about his experiences on Broadway and the history and information he knew about all the different theaters and the area in general was great! He inspired some in the group to come back and watch a show that night! Really enjoyed what we learned from the tour and his energy and enthusiasm was contagious! Thanks Joe for a great time for these Texas kids visiting the big city!

We went on the Broadway and Times Square tour today with Peter Sullivan. He was great! He worked song cues into his otter and frequently burst into song - so of course I had to join in. He was full of stories and theatre trivia. Really a good time!

This May, The Notebook, Suffs and Enemy of the People were tremendous. We highly recommend seeing all of those. Suffs is very powerful and unique. Casts of all three plays were outstanding.

If you love theatre, or just want to know the history of theatre in NY this is fun. Having a guide that’s connected to the industry is a nice touch as there’s some fun stuff you may not expect. Our guide Jay was great.
