Six Degrees of Broadway Stages: Connecting all the Broadway shows in the New York Theatre Sale
Dozens of Broadway shows currently have deals on offer through March 1 during our limited-time sale — but that's not the only thing they have in common.
Written byGillian Russo
The NYC theatre world is small, and not just because nearly all 41 Broadway venues are located within 15 minutes of each other. The old "six degrees of separation" theory rings true here, and we set out to prove it.
What connects the 2026 Best Musical Tony winner Schmigadoon! to The Fantasticks, the longest-running musical of all time? The new rock musical Galileo to the 17th-century Molière comedy The Imaginary Invalid? The provocative adult drama Downstate to the long-running family blockbuster Wicked?
Find out all that and more below: New connections will be revealed every day through October 1. From there, you'll still have three days left to save on tickets to all the listed shows during our New York Theatre Sale, on right now through October 4 only.
