Broadway & Off Broadway shows for kids in January 2025

Get tickets to the best Broadway shows for children on New York Theatre Guide. Taking a young child to a Broadway show is a fantastic way to introduce them to theatre and the arts, and it might instill wonder, amazement, and a love for the arts they'll maintain for a long time. Going to a show as a family also allows everyone to make a memory together that will last a lifetime, and there are so many theatre events for families out there.

See Disney shows such as Aladdin or The Lion King, family Broadway shows based on famous stories like Wicked and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, or the Off-Broadway hit The Play That Goes Wrong, which is a great Broadway play for kids that offers mile-a-minute laughs. There are also venues in New York dedicated entirely to children's theatre, where families can attend a show designed specifically for the youngest theatregoers to explore the art form for the first time. Even if a child has attended a show before, they'll watch and hear a story written specifically with them in mind, and they can even engage with the performers.

These shows make great summer break theatre options as you look for things to do with the kids while they're out of school. Get tickets to kids' Broadway shows on New York Theatre Guide now.
