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.
Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League, says Kids Night on Broadway began as a way to make a night on Broadway something for the whole family.
“We felt it was a good idea to honor them and bring them in,” St. Martin says. “We believe that theatre should be a family event.”
And Kids Night on Broadway has helped make theatre a family event: over 182,000 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.
“Our research reflects that 63.5% of Broadway audiences reported attending theatre as children or adolescents, helping to establish early lifelong connections to live theatre,” St. Martin said in a press release.
This event isn’t just limited to New York: Kids’ Night on Broadway will continue to take place throughout the year across the country, with different shows and venues providing their own take on the event.
