From January 22–24, 2016, join fellow fans, performers, and creators from some of your favorite on- and off-Broadway shows as they gather at the famed New York Hilton Midtown hotel to perform, discuss, debate, and celebrate.

You’ve seen shows, and festivals, and markets, and benefits, and concerts. BroadwayCon is all of that and more. It’s a chance to get the complete Broadway fan experience, from every angle, all in one incredible weekend.

BroadwayCon brings you through the stage door to see and experience what goes on both on stage and behind the scenes. It is a place where Broadway fans can come together to celebrate the shows they love with people who bring them to life.
