Kids’ Night on Broadway has been going on for 25 years, starting when Disney began moving into the Theatre District and family-friendly shows became more prominent on Broadway.
Jason Laks, interim president of the Broadway League, says “Kids Night on Broadway creates an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to live theatre and cultivate their interest and enjoyment of the arts from an early age.”
And Kids’ Night on Broadway has helped make theatre a family event: over 200,000 kids and teens have attended a show for free through the program. Going to Broadway at a young age helps influence theatregoing habits in the future.
