Our Fall Picks

Broadway's fall season begins after Labor Day and builds through the holidays, with most new shows opening between September and early December. It's one of the busiest stretches on the calendar, as Broadway, off-Broadway, opera, and concerts all launch new work at once. The full list above shows everything opening this fall in one place.

This fall's Broadway openings include A Few Good Men, Much Ado About Nothing, Galileo, The Fantasticks, Inter Alia, Wanted, and A View from the Bridge, plus Other Desert Cities and Billy Crystal 860. The Top Picks This Fall tab above rounds up the season's most anticipated openings.

Prices vary by show, but booking during previews (before opening night) is often the most affordable way in, since demand and pricing tend to climb after reviews land. You can also filter by price above, enter a digital lottery, or grab same-day Rush seats on the TodayTix app for the lowest fares.

Fall is when the New York calendar refills, and the best-reviewed openings tend to sell out fastest once opening night hits. Booking during previews locks in a seat before opening-night pricing climbs. The Top Picks This Fall tab above is the fastest way to see what's worth booking first.

Yes. Many shows offer same-day Rush and digital lotteries through the TodayTix app, with winning seats typically around $35 to $65.
