Kids Can See Broadway Shows For Free This February—And Yes, ‘Hamilton’ Is Included

Broadway is once again giving kids the best seat in the house–for free! The annual Kids’ Night on Broadway is officially returning to NYC on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, bringing back the beloved perk that lets anyone 18 and under attend select Broadway shows for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult. Now celebrating its 30th year, the program is a tried-and-true favorite and one of the easiest ways for families to score Broadway tickets this winter. This year, 18 shows are participating, with a lineup that spans Disney favorites, musicals, buzzy newcomers, and Broadway staples. Translation: Broadway tickets that won’t make your wallet cry.
