Let yourself be intoxicated by the music of the night as you pass one of the largest theatres on Broadway.

Stop At: Hell’s Kitchen, Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, New York
We’ll then venture to see some Off-Broadway theatres in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of Midtown (don’t worry, it’s not nearly as scary as the name implies!).

Kinks are worked out, tests are run, and changes are made here – all essential pieces of the Broadway puzzle.
