* Please note: all participants indicating they would like to purchase a Broadway ticket will receive an email confirmation from the Scholars staff in mid-February. At that time, you will be asked to provide your top three show preferences. Based on previous trips, the demand for some Broadway shows will be greater than others. Due to the limited number of tickets acquired for each show, Scholars cannot guarantee your first choice show preference. However, at a minimum you will be guaranteed one of your top three show preferences. If your party has one or two individuals registered for overnight accommodations, a room with one king bed will be provided. If your party has three or four individuals registered for overnight accommodations, a room with two queen beds will be provided.
