The core of entertainment in New York City is its ‘Theater District’ – popularly known as Broadway. This is a place that is an amalgamation of cultural diversity and creative talent, unlike anywhere else. The breathtaking productions that are displayed every night have no equal anywhere else. Each year, there are more than 12 million visitors to the theaters in the Theater District. No wonder, theater tickets in New York are always at a premium, and have to be booked months in advance, to avoid disappointment.
