Broadway comes to Madame Tussauds New York

With Broadway shut for months and no plans for reopening in sight, the team at Madame Tussauds New York offered the industry their support - and guests a weekly theatrical fix - with live performances from stars of the closed shows in their Broadway area!

Every Saturday in October, Madame Tussauds New York have been holding Broadway performances at 2 p.m. from the balcony of their A-List room to show their support whilst stages remain dark until next spring.

Each show features a new performer from an iconic show and the series launched with Ali Ewoldt, who stars as Christine in “The Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway. International audiences can catch up on the performances from Mean Girls, Frozen, Phantom of the Opera and more on the Madame Tussauds New York Facebook page.

“Broadway is vital to our city. We hope that this taste of Broadway fills the room with excitement for the bright future we know lies ahead. This series of performances is a natural extension of our immersive and innovative Broadway experience which allows guests to see firsthand what it takes to make a Broadway show happen every night.”

Mindy Clements,General Manager at Madame Tussauds New York

"I’m missing Broadway so much so to have a little taste of Cats or seeing Glenn Close in all her ‘Sunset Boulevard’ refinery is so exciting. For those who don’t often get to step on to a Broadway stage to get to see it in real life is so thrilling.”
