The New York Theatre Scene
It’s an interesting time because there isn’t that much Latin Broadway, yet the pinnacle of Broadway theatre is Latin. Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, Freestyle Love Supreme) is the Broadway hit of our generation. 🇵🇷
Restaurant Row
A night of Broadway can be a nice dinner, and a show, followed by a cocktail.
Restaurant Row is West 46th St between Eighth and Ninth Ave in Hell’s Kitchen. It’s an Open Street pedestrian street lined with restaurants.
Broadway Cabaret
54 Below is a Broadway cabaret in the notorious basement of Studio 54. If you can’t make a Broadway show, you can still feel the Broadway at 54 Below. 54below.com
Off-Broadway Theaters
There is more Latin Off-Broadway than Latin Broadway. Technically Off-Broadway is theaters from 100-500 seats with Off-Broadway contracts. For our purposes, Off-Broadway is everything not on Broadway.
The Public Theater produces thoughtful productions including Free Shakespeare in the Park. New York City Center produces Broadway revivals.
