2-for-1 Tickets to MATILDA, PIPPIN & More Offered During Broadway Week, Running Now thru 2/6

NYC & Company, New York City's official marketing, tourism and partnership organization, announced that Broadway Week will return this winter with 2-for-1 theater tickets to 26 Broadway shows-more than any previous iteration of the campaign. The promotion will run from today, January 21 through February 6, and theatergoers can take advantage of this savings opportunity by purchasing 2-for-1 tickets starting on January 6 at nycgo.com/broadwayweek.

"Whether theatergoers are seeing a new musical or an old classic, going to a Broadway show is an iconic New York City experience," said George Fertitta, CEO of NYC & Company. "We encourage New Yorkers and visitors as well as football fans in town for Super Bowl XLVIII to take advantage of the 2-for-1 Broadway Week promotion and enjoy a wonderful theatrical performance."

"NYC & Company's innovative 2-for-1 program is a smart way for New Yorkers and visitors to tackle Broadway this Super Bowl season! Broadway Week is now becoming a semi-annual event for savvy theater fans who love plays and musicals - and more shows are participating than ever before," says Charlotte St. Martin, Executive Director of The Broadway League. "As our city is getting ready to welcome a live celebrated sports event that applauds teamwork and an ensemble cast of star athletes, a live theatrical performance on Broadway is also a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Okay NFL fans, show us your plays, and we'll show you our plays."

Through NYC & Company's Broadway Week promotion, more than 350,000 2-for-1 theater tickets have been sold, generating over $22 million in revenue since the semiannual campaign was launched in January 2011.
