Want to hear Broadway performers live without buying a theater ticket? Broadway Under the Stars brings cast members from different productions to The Shops at Columbus Circle for free performances.
What to expect
These aren’t full musicals. Instead, short live performances give you a taste of different shows. Past editions have also included hosted conversations with cast members, with different productions appearing on different dates.
The series traditionally takes place on select dates during the holiday season. If there’s a particular show you’d like to catch, take a look at the lineup once it’s announced.
Despite the name, you won’t be standing outside under the night sky. The performances take place inside the shopping center, on the second-floor stage.
Good to know
- Admission is free.
- Arrive a little early if you’d like time to find a spot with a good view of the stage.
- Dates, times, and participating productions for 2026 have not yet been announced.
