Kids’ Night on Broadway 2025 Offers Free Tickets for Kids, Including Surprise Addition of The Outsiders.
Kids’ Night on Broadway Returns in Winter 2025
The winter 2025 edition of Kids’ Night on Broadway will take place on March 4, 2025. The popular initiative allows children 18 and under to attend select Broadway shows for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult. This year, 18 productions will participate, including hit shows like & Juliet, Hamilton, Moulin Rouge!, Hadestown, The Lion King, and, surprisingly, The Outsiders. Tickets are now on sale at: https://www.kidsnightonbroadway.com/participating-shows
The Outsiders Joins Kids’ Night, Raising Eyebrows
It’s worth noting that The Outsiders, which skipped Broadway Week earlier in 2025, has raised eyebrows by joining this event. The inclusion of the show is unexpected, given its recent absence from other similar discount ticket and promotional efforts.
More Than Just Broadway Theatre Tickets
In addition to discounted tickets, the event will feature in-theater activities such as post-show talkbacks, sing-alongs, and art projects, along with a special “My First Broadway Show” sticker for first-time young attendees. Beyond the theaters, 20 local restaurants will offer family-friendly deals, including free kids’ meals with the purchase of adult entrees.
