Celebrate Freedom With a Showtune: Broadway's Independence Day Week Schedule

Here are the curtain times for shows running in the days leading up to the 4th.

This 4th of July, all of Broadway's shows will be taking a much needed break to celebrate our nation's birth. But in the days leading up to the holiday, New Yorkers and NYC visitors will have the opportunity to take in a wide range of plays and musicals. TheaterMania has compiled a list of the holiday week's theatergoing schedule, from today through July 3. On Monday, July 4 itself, the off-Broadway productions of The Fantasticks and Perfect Crime, will be among the shows in Midtown's theater district with performances.

Several of these shows are also running an Independence Day discount. Chicago, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible., The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Fun Home, Kinky Boots, She Loves Me, and Something Rotten! are providing a $40 discount on tickets for July 4th weekend, as part of the "Star-Spangled Broadway" initiative.

Heather Headley, Cynthia Erivo, and Danielle Brooks join their voices in Broadway's The Color Purple.
