What is the difference between a Broadway Show, an Off-Broadway Show, and a Touring Show?
A Broadway Show refers to theatrical performances presented in one of the 40 large professional theaters with 500 seats or more located in the Theatre District, in Manhattan, New York City. An “Off Broadway” show refers to professional plays, musicals or revues performed in New York City, in a venue with a seating capacity between 99 and 500 that uses Actors’ Equity Performers. A “Touring Shows” refers to a National Broadway Tour that is performed outside of New York City using Actors’ Equity Performers or regional theatres and performances that may or may not use equity performers.
