BroadwayCon is described on the event's official website as "a chance to get the complete Broadway fan experience, from every angle, all in one incredible weekend."

The description continues: "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...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. We are working to assemble a spectacular lineup of industry professionals, Broadway veterans, and creators to bring you an inside look at what it means to be part of the grandest of theater traditions. Witness incredible performances. Hear from our hand-picked panelists about their experiences on stage, and off. Attend panels, discussions, shows, workshops, and more with the industry's leading performers and creators. Meet some of your favorite Broadway stars through free autographs and photo opportunities away from the stage door. Be a part of a special community experience and make the kinds of memories you'll be talking about for years to come."

Stay tuned for announcements on panels, workshops, performances, Q&As and the many stars who will be participating next winter!
