Park visitors enjoy a Broadway by the Boardwalk music performance from the lawn at Clinton Cove

When Broadway goes dark, the Park lights up for an evening of live music and star performances in Clinton Cove.

Broadway by the Boardwalk transforms Hudson River Park’s scenic Clinton Cove lawn into a welcoming open-air theater by inviting Broadway’s brightest stars to perform at the waterfront. The series returns this summer for encore performances, free for all to enjoy.

New this year, each performance will begin with Stepping into the Spotlight, an exciting new showcase featuring Broadway’s next generation of stars. This special opening act will feature understudies from current Broadway productions and shine a light on the remarkable talent waiting in the wings. It’s a rare chance to see tomorrow’s Broadway stars today.

Broadway by the Boardwalk connects the Park’s Hell’s Kitchen theater community and celebrates Broadway’s vital role in NYC arts and culture. These events share the magic of live performance, giving longtime fans the chance to enjoy their favorite artists in an informal, outdoor and accessible community setting.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets for seating on the grass.
