How to Get Your  2-for-1 Tickets

You can grab your 2-for-1 tickets online by visiting NYC Tourism and using the code BWAYWK25. You can also use BWAYUP25 to upgrade to better seat locations at a discounted rate. Just keep in mind, that there are only a limited number of discounted tickets available for each show, so if there’s a performance you really want to see, it’s best to book early. The deal is good for shows from January 21 through February 9. Tickets are on sale now.

The 2-for-1 deal is available for a little over two weeks, so the sooner you plan ahead, the better. This is especially a good idea if you have a theater kid who may want to see a show they have had their set on for a while. Keep in mind that only a limited number of discounted seats are available per show, so it’s wise to act fast to secure your tickets.

Tips for Seeing Broadway Shows with Kids

Before you head out with your kids to see a Broadway show, here are a few tips:

  1. Check age ratings. Some Broadway shows are better for older kids or teens. For example, The Book of Mormon is hilarious, but it’s definitely for mature audiences, while The Lion King and Wicked are perfect for younger kids and families.
  2. Think about the length of the show. Broadway performances usually run for 2-3 hours, so it’s important to consider your child’s attention span and bedtime. Shows like Aladdin or The Lion King are great for younger kids, with their familiar songs and fun dialogue that keep them engaged from start to finish.
  3. Get there early. Broadway theatres can get super crowded during this time of year, so it’s a good idea to get there a bit early. That way, you can breeze through security and settle into your seats without feeling rushed.

Next Up: Off-Broadway Week

If you miss out on Broadway Week, Off-Broadway Week is just around the corner, running from February 17 to March 9. Tickets for Off-Broadway shows will go on sale on February 4, giving you another opportunity to enjoy the city’s theatre scene at a discounted price.

The Language Workshop For Children

<p dir="ltr">After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over time, The Language Workshop for Children, founded in1973, has decided to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals. Our skilled educators will focus their attention exclusively on the unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child. This allows a bond to develop between teacher and student, which has been shown to drastically improve retention. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OUR METHOD </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your child’s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest.   </p> <p dir="ltr">While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut Technique which has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected publications.  </p> <p dir="ltr">Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>THE PROCESS</strong> </p> <p dir="ltr">First, students have a short meeting with our Director Francois Thibaut, in English, with their parent(s) present. Mr. Thibaut will determine the best course of study, including class length and frequency, the right teacher, lesson format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning begins! Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child’s learning to assure they are getting the most of their classes. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OTHER OFFERINGS </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP & CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad, cultural changes when moving abroad, and much more! </p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a97d759c-7fff-6e4d-8e93-70e093aa10f1"> </span></p>
