Broadway Bridges Back for 2026, Bringing $10 Broadway Tickets to NYC Sophomores
Playbill: The Broadway League's Broadway Bridges program, which aims to ensure NYC public high school students see a Broadway show, has returned for 2026. The program, which serves schools across all five boroughs, invites high school sophomores and public high schools to see a participating Broadway show for just $10, with the goal of making sure every NYC public school student sees a Broadway show before they graduate.

Last semester it felt like every other article I was reading was about how massively inflated Broadway’s prices are and how unaffordable it was for New Yorkers to see any shows. But ever since the election, I’ve seen almost nothing but positive news coverage about the state of the arts in New York City. Even if Broadway Bridges has already existed, the fact that it’s coming back this year is so heartwarming to hear. Keeping Broadway in an ivory tower protected by price is something that could only get exponentially worse in the coming years, and the fact that the initiative has already helped so many people is an absolute plus. The amount of shows that participate is really cool to see, as well. It’s so important to experience at, especially as a child or teen, and it’s especially important to see art that’s such a cultural hub of the city you already live in.
This is such a great opportunity to get high school kids exposed to the arts and culture that is encompassed in the city of New York. The idea of it covering each of the boroughs rather then the schools just in Manhattan or near the theatre district. Making Broadway tickets accessible for high schools student allow for them to have the chance to see a broadway level production because the ticket prices have increased exponentially in prices in the past few few. Not only is the price of living is going up, but diue to the high level of talent on these stage, the tickets have created an accessibility issue for the people of New York. The fact that a New Yorker at a young age has this opportunity is definitely a step in the right direction. This gives students the idea of pursuing a career in the arts and could get them involved in creative thinking.
