The convention will run from January 11-13, 2019, with tickets going on sale April 27 (pre-sale will begin April 25 for BroadwayCon 2018 attendees).

BroadwayCon Industry Day, curated by Situation, will also return for its second year on January 11, 2019. Tickets for BroadwayCon Industry Day include access to all Industry Day and BroadwayCon programming on Friday, January 11, as well as a special Industry Day cocktail hour.

BroadwayCon is theater's answer to Comic-Con, tailor made for fans. BroadwayCon 2019 will feature panels, performances, interviews, workshops, singalongs, and more, all packed into an epic three-day weekend. Past panels have included previews from upcoming Broadway shows, conversations with the casts and creatives of this season's hits, and discussions featuring the industry's top producers and designers, not to mention the giant Opening Celebration and nighttime fun and games. BroadwayCon is produced by Mischief Management.
