It is a place where Broadway fans come together to celebrate the shows they love with people who bring them to life. You’ve seen shows, and festivals, and markets, and benefits, and concerts. BroadwayCon is all of that and more. It’s a chance to get the complete Broadway fan experience, from every angle, all in one incredible weekend.
