Swap sandals for stage lights at the Gershwin Theatre, where you will see the world of Oz like you never have before with the Broadway classic Wicked. Deck yourself out in your spring pink and green and see a story of an unlikely friendship that will have you leaving the theatre in your feels.

For those who love to listen to mambo, bolero, and jazz on the beach, you should check out Buena Vista Social Club.

This spring break, dive into 1990s Cuba and hear the story of how a Son Cubano album rocked a nation. Watch a heartwarming story unfold before you while the live band onstage keeps your toe tapping. Head to the Schoenfeld Theatre to see Buena Vista Social Club, the brand-new show that is making waves on Broadway.

For the avid concertgoer, see the hottest pop girl group of the 16th century by seeing SIX.

Head on over to the Lena Horne Theatre to hear our favorite English queens rock out on stage together in SIX. Whether you’re a history buff studying for finals or someone who loves a pop girl group, you will be hearing the famous rhyme about Henry VIII’s wives in a whole new way at Six.

For vacation with the kids or the Disney lover at heart, take your spring break trip to Pride Rock and see The Lion King.

Betty Boop will beguile your break with an evening of a lifetime!
