If you’re a performance group, Broadway is sure to be one of your favorite spots in New York City. There’s nothing like the experience of this phenomenon live. Audiences have been moved to tears by some of the more powerful scenes in Broadway productions, like the opening number in The Lion King, one of the most innovative stage adaptations of all time.

Few musicals captured audiences quite like The Lion King, but Wicked is another production that’s taken Broadway by storm, enrapturing audiences since its opening in 2003. This prequel to The Wizard of Oz features the story of the good and bad witches from their youth and was nominated for ten Tony Awards. It won for scene design, costume design, and performance by a leading actress. More significantly to this post, though, it wins with audiences again and again.

We offer exciting New York City student travel especially for performance groups that should help you add Wicked to your library of Broadway experiences as well as another show of your choice, like Rent, Phantom of the Opera, or any of the comedies, whodunnits, or traditional musicals so beloved on Broadway. The tour is called Broadway Lights and Neon Nights, and that’s just what you’ll experience on the tour.

There’s nothing like the energy on Broadway as audiences stream to and from the shows. But the most dramatic experience in the neon nights portion of the tour takes you to Times Square at night. Most students have witnessed this scene in the movies or on television, but it can’t compare to experiencing it for themselves.

Lest you think New York City is only for the nightlife, though, the tour sends you to Central Park as well. These gorgeous open spaces and walkways truly help students get the full New York City picture. They’ll love their time in this pretty, daytime version of the Big Apple’s energy and life.

Perhaps your group is in the City for a performance of their own. Or maybe they just need the inspiration that comes from witnessing how far their talent and their dreams can take them if they continue to pursue them with all their heart. Either way, there’s no city like New York, and no venue like Broadway to open to them a world of possibility.
