New Shows Coming to Broadway Theaters
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2014 -- A new season of Broadway has begun! New York City Vacation Packages(NYCVP) has found that theatres all along the Great White Way are filled with a variety of new musicals and plays that appeal to a wide range of audiences. A mixture of raucous comedies, melodious musicals, and subdued dramas are making their way to the big stages with a flurry of new faces and old. Theater-goers can expect greats like Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, and James Earl Jones; and also the debuts of Broadway newbies like Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Michael Cera. There will be revivals of popular hits, new material for theater fanatics to rave about, and even some music by Sting.
“Over 11 million people attended shows on Broadway last year,” explains Joel Cohen, Vice President of NYCVP. “New shows are always coming out and there really is something for everyone.”
With so many new and innovative shows appearing this year, NYCVP would like to suggest a list of some notable Broadway shows for the fall of 2014.
