Seeing a Broadway show with a friend, partner, or family member is a perfect way to spend time together, and you have someone to chat about the show with on the way home. But if you’ve never experienced a solo date to a musical or play, you’re missing out on an equally meaningful way to enjoy live theatre.
Going to a Broadway show alone gives you the freedom to see whatever show you want, without catering to people’s differing tastes. And there’s something almost magical about sitting in the dark auditorium, completely immersed in the show in front of you. Plus, you’re never really alone at a show — you and your entire audience are part of a collective experience as you watch together.
Below, we rounded up 10 of the best Broadway shows to see by yourself, whether you’re interested in a thoughtful, introspective play or a loud, high-energy musical.
