As New York City’s frigid winter gives way to spring, fade in on a jam-packed Broadway season. With nearly a dozen (!) new musicals and plays beginning performances in March, theatergoers will have an opportunity to see everything from thoroughly modern revivals of The Picture of Dorian Gray and Glengarry Glen Ross to the long-awaited, first-time Broadway mountings of The Last Five Years and Floyd Collins.
Meanwhile, top shows like Oh, Mary! and Operation Mincemeat continue their hit runs in between a serious stage adaptation of Good Night, and Good Luck starring George Clooney (in his Broadway debut), a star-studded revue celebrating the late Stephen Sondheim, and more. Plus, Smash finally makes its bow on Broadway more than a decade after NBC lit up primetime with “Let Me Be Your Star.”
As we look ahead to spring, the past truly is on the cutting room floor. Find out how to buy Broadway tickets to the cavalcade of amazing new shows in NYC below.
