Rockefeller Center and Playbill Present
Road to Broadway: Opening Act

May 14

Culture & Entertainment

This May, Rockefeller Center partners with Playbill to present a series of free, live Broadway performances in the heart of the city. Just steps from the Theater District, The Rink transforms into an open-air stage for a special midday program celebrating the energy and artistry of Broadway.

On Thursday, May 14 at 12PM, join us for the opening performance of the series, featuring selections from:

  • Wicked
  • Chicago
  • Hadestown

Kicking off the series with one of Broadway’s most iconic productions, this opening moment sets the stage for a month of unforgettable performances.

For a front-row view, reserve terrace seating at Jupiter or NARO, or grab takeout from Under 30 Rock favorites like Lobel’s, Ace’s Pizza, or Shake Shack. Guests shopping or dining at Rockefeller Center can use their receipt to access a standing view from the Rink balconies. View all dining.

After the show, head up to Top of the Rock for sweeping skyline views. Buy tickets.
