New Jersey theater enthusiasts are in for a spectacular treat as Broadway launches its first-ever New Jersey Night on Wednesday, October 22. The inaugural event offers Garden State residents special discounts on select Broadway productions, dining, and transit, making a night in New York City more accessible and unforgettable.
A total of 21 Broadway shows are participating in the promotion, including blockbuster favorites such as Aladdin, Chicago, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Moulin Rouge!, Hell’s Kitchen, and & Juliet. The event also highlights the talents of several New Jersey natives, including Newark-born Taye Diggs as the Duke of Monroth in Moulin Rouge! and Hamilton native Gianna Harris portraying Juliet in & Juliet. Harris previously understudied for Tony-winning actress Maleah Joi Moon in Hell’s Kitchen.
As part of the celebration, ticket buyers can take advantage of a “buy one, get one” offer, where a second ticket is available for just $17.87—a symbolic nod to the year New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. Shoppers should enter code NJNIGHT25 at checkout if prompted.
The evening extends beyond the theater, with participating Manhattan and Secaucus restaurants offering discounts and NJ Transit providing special transportation deals. NJ Transit riders can use the code NJNIGHT to purchase four one-way tickets for the price of two through the mobile app. This transit promotion is valid from 1 p.m. on October 22 through 2 a.m. on October 24, ensuring attendees have convenient travel options to and from the city.
Beyond the New Jersey Night lineup, Broadway continues to feature stars with Garden State roots. Union City native Bobby Cannavale currently headlines Art alongside Neil Patrick Harris and James Corden, Livingston’s Brandon Uranowitz shines in Ragtime, former Montclair resident Alex Winter co-leads Waiting for Godot with Keanu Reeves, and Tenafly’s Lea Michele is set to star in the upcoming production of Chess.
The launch of New Jersey Night on Broadway highlights the deep connection between the state and the theater world, offering residents a chance to experience top-tier performances while celebrating local talent.
