Broadway feeling right in the middle of New York, and completely free. At Road to Broadway at Rockefeller Center, you can see live performances from current Broadway shows.

- May 21: Six: The Musical, Just in Time, & Juliet, Death Becomes Her
- May 28: Operation Mincemeat, The Great Gatsby, Maybe Happy Ending
- June 4: MJ: The Musical, The Outsiders, The Book of Mormon, Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Good to know
- You do not need a ticket. Just stop by and enjoy the music.
- It is worth arriving early, especially on nice-weather days when it fills up quickly.
- Most spots are standing room. It can already get very hot in May, and the concerts take place in the midday sun, so bring a cap and sunscreen.
- It is a great event to combine with a visit to Top of the Rock.
- You can reserve a spot on the terrace at Jupiter or NARO. Alternatively, grab takeout from one of the spots below 30 Rock.
- If you buy something or eat at Rockefeller Center, your receipt may also give you access to a standing spot with a view from the Rink Balconies.
