The Broadway League, with the support of the New York City Department of Education and the United Federation of Teachers, has announced the lineup of participating shows for the fall 2018 season of Broadway Bridges, which is dedicated to giving every NYC public high school student the opportunity to see a Broadway show before graduating.

The program expects to bring 17,500 10th-grade students and chaperones to a show during the 2018-2019 season. This will bring the accumulative total of participants to 26,000 since the program's launch last year.
