About Broadway

Broadway is a tag for recordings of musicals produced at Broadway theatres.

Broadway theatres have 500 or more seats and are geographically located between 41st and 54th Streets and between 6th and 8th Avenues in Manhattan. The one exception is the Vivian Beaumont Theatre in Lincoln Center.

Broadway is the center of commercial theatre in the United States. It is named after the street that runs through the middle of the Broadway theatre district. Most theatres are located on streets other than Broadway. Successful shows will often go on to tour the USA, and may also transfer to the West End in London.

This tag includes recordings of original Broadway productions, typically identified in album artwork as “Original Broadway Cast Recording.” It also includes recordings of Broadway revival productions. These are typically identified as “New Broadway Cast Recording” or by a specific year, such as “2024 Broadway Cast Recording.”

This tag should not be used for recordings of film musicals, studio cast recordings, concert recordings, or recordings for non-Broadway productions.
