百老匯劇院
獅子王在新阿姆斯特丹劇院上演, 2003
百老匯劇院(英语:Broadway theater),但許多百老匯劇院、表演者使用「theatre」的拼法。</ref>,簡稱百老匯,是指包括在美國紐約曼哈頓劇院區域以及林肯中心一帶的劇院所演出的戲劇,其中有39間大型專業劇院擁有超過500座位。因為劇院大多數皆在百老匯街道附近的地方,故被統稱為百老匯劇院。百老匯以演出音樂劇著名,亦常常有戲劇、歌劇、舞蹈等等的表演,和倫敦的西區劇院(West End)同為英語世界中最著名的劇院區域。
百老匯劇院區域是紐約市的重要旅遊景點。據百老匯聯會統計,百老匯在2009年到2010年的劇季的票房收益大約是$10.2億美金。
百老匯劇院以地理和受大眾歡迎的程度分為三種,分別是百老匯音樂劇(Broadway),外百老匯音樂劇(Off Broadway),外外百老匯音樂劇(Off Off Broadway,或譯「第三戏剧(界)」、「先锋派戏剧」)[1]。外外百老匯音樂劇有相當多實驗戲劇的形式,也最便宜,如果票房很好,就會被移到外百老匯加強宣傳,而只有受到大眾歡迎、票房非常好的才會在內百老匯上演。在地理上來說,在紐約百老滙大街上,44街至53街之间的剧院称为內百老匯(也就是百老匯),而百老匯大街41街和56街上的剧院则称为外百老匯。[2]
歷史
1798年建造的,公園劇院內部
紐約在大約1750年開始建成第一座劇院,二十世紀初音樂劇的發展開始蓬勃,直至如今百老匯已經成為劇院林立的區域。雖然其間經歷1919年美國演員權益協會罷工、1920年代電影業、二次世界大戰、經濟大蕭條等的挑戰。
