Great tour of behind the scenes on Broadway - The best tour we took while in NYC over spring break. Mickey was fabulous- very knowledgeable annd engaging. She knows Broadway’s history as well as the nuts and bolts of making a play or a musical. . Going into the rehearsal studio was a highlight. One can better understand how a Broadway production is made from the very beginning to actually going on stage. This tour is a must for anyone seeing a production or interested in theater.

Fantastic and very informative. Our guide Mickey is wonderful!! - We took our son, who is a Musical Theater major, on this tour. Our guide was Mickey and she is great. She is a working actress and is very knowledgeable. We learned so much about some of the theaters, what it takes to be an actor, and what goes into producing a show. She also had some very interesting stories about the theaters and their history. She spent a lot of time talking with my son and answering all of his questions. Beware that this is a 2 hour walking tour, but Mickey is very accommodating and took it slow for me.

Behind Broadway - Our tour was good. Very informative on the history of Broadway and its theaters, as well as Times Square. Cullen was very patient and answered all of our questions. I do wish there were more insight on productions, but I assumed there weren’t due to copyright laws.

Great tour with a knowledgable host. - Mikey was awesome. As a working actor, she is able to articulate the experience of Broadway along with the facts. Was a nice pre-event before taking my son to his first Broadway play.

Terrific experience - For our trip to New York City we booked the Broadway Behind the Scenes tour. I would highly recommend it. It was a cold rainy day that we took our tour but even that couldn’t take away from the experience! Our tour guide, Mickey, took us all over the theater district and told us all kinds of great stories about the theaters and pointed out things that we would have missed otherwise. If you love theater and Broadway, you will definitely want to book this tour!

Learning history of the theaters in Manhattan - We enjoyed our afternoon with Mykala. She shared many interesting stories about the history of the Theatres. We even went into a rehearsal hall. Also walked around Hell's Kitchen and she pointed out different restaurants on "restaurant row". Very enjoyable walk and there were only 7 of us so no one got left behind nor couldn't hear what was being said. Would recommend.

Amazing guide - Micaela was our guide and what a delight she was ! We always add tours to our visits to New York. After years of doing this , she absolutely is the best guide we’ve ever experienced. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and truly had a passion for theater and sharing her knowledge. This experience far exceeded our expectations! Book this , but hopefully with Micaela!
