The Ghosts of Broadway

Discover Broadway’s most haunted theaters and meet some stars of the Gilded Age who perhaps don’t realize the show is over!

New York’s famed Broadway theatre district has had a long and glittering history since it first came in to being in the early years of the 20th century.  Some of America’s greatest stars and the audiences that cheered for their performances filled theatre after theatre over Broadway’s long history.

But just perhaps some of those stars — and even directors and producers — loved the theatre world so much that they just have found it hard to leave.
