Which Broadway musicals should you see with the whole family? The Big Apple is world-famous for its musicals and offers a wide range suitable for all ages. There's no doubt that this will be one of the most memorable moments of your family's trip to New York!

Some Broadway shows are adaptations of well-known films, such as The Lion King and Aladdin, which bring the emotions of the cartoons to life on stage. These musicals are ideal for children of all ages as they feature familiar stories and songs. They feature lively, dynamic staging and choreography that will delight all ages!

Other New York shows are based on literary classics, such as Wicked and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. We recommend them for teenagers and young adults. Wicked offers a modern take on the well-known Wizard of Oz story, while Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues the adventures of the world's most famous wizard.

The musical comedy adaptation of the legendary film Back to the Future is sure to delight older teens and young adults, with its humour and special effects!

If you're visiting New York with children, most Broadway musicals also offer afternoon performances, as well as the traditional evening shows. This is a great way to enjoy some magical family time together while respecting everyone's needs.
