Broadway theatre
New York showhouses
Broadway theatre refers to professional stage productions performed in the large theaters of New York City's Broadway district, centered around Times Square.
The term denotes both a geographic location and a standard of prestige—Broadway shows represent the highest tier of American commercial theater.
Productions that open "on Broadway" have arrived at the pinnacle: She's dreaming of Broadway.
Smaller nearby venues are called off-Broadway or off-off-Broadway.
