Description

Let's talk about Broadway theater while walking around Broadway theaters! Chris is a theater enthusiast (and recovered actor) who knows about a lot of shows currently running on Broadway. He will be your show matchmaker, informing you about the hype, stories, and stars so you can find the show that's right for you. He'll share stories from his years as a show-seer and a show-leaving-at-intermission-er. He'll even give you some history about the theater district and its famous theaters, featuring exciting dates like 1903...and 2015!

We'll stop outside the Gershwin, Circle in the Square, the Actor's Chapel, the Eugene O'Neil, the Ambassador, the Walter Kerr, The Longacre, the Lena Horne, the Richard Rodgers, the Lunt-Fontanne, the Marquis, the Golden, the Gerald Schoenfeld, the Bernard B. Jacobs, the Booth, the Shubert, Shubert Alley, Sardi's, and the Theater Circle Gift Shop.

Chris will find something positive to say about every show...even Moulin Rouge!

Intriguing and entertaining

Brilliant thing to do if you have a couple of spare hours and are interested in theatre. Awesome facts and a friendly vibe. Would 100% recommend. He had a great knowledge of the theatres and the shows inside. Gave us great tips about the theatre district. My 14 year old daughter found its interesting as well and I feel like this tour is for everyone. Amazing.

Broadway

Chris was a knowledgeable guy who loves the theater and it showed. He helped me decide what shows I still need to see. I am a native New Yorker and he still made the tour very interesting

Fantastic Experience

The Broadway tour with Chris was fantastic. I showed up as the only participant, and he ended up giving me what felt like a private tour, which made the experience even more special. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared lots of fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes. He also helped me figure out which shows would suit me best, which made the rest of my New York visit even better. Overall, a really memorable New York experience—highly recommended.

Amazing tour!

I did the tour with Chris on 24/3, and it was amazing!! He knew so much, he was interested with answering questions. He also asked in the begging what’s interesting me, and I learned so much from the tour. Thanks Chris!!!
