You don't need to be high-brow bourgeoisie to appreciate culture. Theatre is also no longer reserved for high society, but is available to all. In fact, you don't even need to ever set foot on Broadway in New York City to experience some of the best theatre the world has to offer. This is because many of the popular plays and musicals now tour all over North America. And you can buy tickets to any play on and off Broadway online. If a play is a hit on Broadway, the producers will take the company and show on the road and set up temporary shop in major cities. For example, Wicked, a musical related to the timeless movie The Wizard of Oz, was a smash hit on Broadway. In fact, it is still showing at the Gershwin Theatre, but is also touring all over the U.S. And in this day and age of the Web, anyone with an Internet connection and a credit card can purchase Broadway tickets to any play or musical they can think of.

Broadway Theater or Theatre
Broadway theatre, or a Broadway show, refers to a performance, usually a play or musical presented in one of the thirty-nine large professional theatres with 500 seats or more located in the Theatre District of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The spelling of theater in the realm of Broadway is often spelled "theatre". “Theater” often refers to the building, and “theatre” as the art. Since the American theatre/theater was historically dominated by British actors and managers, along with American actors and managers trying to suggest that theater/theatre was a high class art, the practitioners insistent on the British spelling, "theatre".
