So you've made it to the Big Apple and you've got your heart set on seeing a Broadway play. It's a quintessential New York experience. But with so many to choose from, how do you know which one to see? Let's be honest, musicals aren't for everybody. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect come showtime.

First things first - book tickets in advance if you want to see a particular Broadway production (or any show, really). Broadway is number one for a reason, and visitors and locals alike vie for prime tickets. If you're a last-minute man, however, fret not: local sellers can usually still be found who will have seats for you (at a premium price, of course).

Good for Families

Allowing you to step back in time to be a spectator at a four-course banquet meal while knights in armor battle it out to be dubbed champion, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament is always a family favorite. Swords clang, dust flies, fermented grain served, this time-transporter is well worth the expense. A peaceful alternative, the supercalifragiliciousexpialidocious Mary Poppins on Broadway is a great way to relax into the theatre.

Longest Running

They say that if you can make it in New York, then you can make it anywhere. In 'the city that never sleeps', you’ve got to earn your right to longevity. Shows like Wicked, Chicago, West Side Story, and Billy Elliot have rightfully earned their places on stage and routinely maintain 5-star reviews.

Newest Editions

In The Heights is one you may not have heard of, but this Tony Award-winning musical has been around for years as an off-Broadway hit. Find out what it takes to make a living, what it costs to have a dream and what it means to be home In The Heights. Alternatively, South Pacific, a first-ever Broadway revival and winner of seven Tony Awards in 2008, is a heart-felt tale of troubled romance.

Doing what: Jersey Boys On Broadway

If you plan a trip to New York The Jersey Boys is a must. Our seats were brilliant (1st class) the show was superb from the beginning to the end. My husband has always wanted to see the show and as I planned a trip to NY for his birthday I thought the best place to see it was on Broadway. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. The cast are fabulous the music out of this world. Everyone singing along to all the songs. Go with Viator and you won't be disappointed. Fantastic Show.
