There is no better week to talk about Broadway than the one right after the Tony Awards. The 79th Tonys were handed out on Sunday 7 June 2026 at Radio City Music Hall, hosted by Pink, and the results have reshaped what is hot, what is selling and what you should book before the rest of the city catches on. This is our weekly read on New York theatre for the week of 9 June 2026: the story first, then the shows you can actually get into, with our live prices attached.
If you are new to all this, our Broadway for beginners guide covers how the theatre district works, and our personality-based guide to choosing a show is a good way to narrow the field. For the wider city this week, see our what's on in New York roundup.

The week's story: a Tony afterglow
Tony night always sends a current through the theatre district, and 2026 was no exception. Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman was the headline, leaving Radio City with six awards, more than any other production, among them Best Revival of a Play, the directing prize for Joe Mantello and a featured-acting Tony for Laurie Metcalf. On the musical side, Schmigadoon! took Best Musical while Ragtime won Best Musical Revival, with Caissie Levy and Joshua Henry both honoured for their leading performances. Liberation won Best Play, and the ceremony paused to mark anniversaries for The Book of Mormon, Chicago and A Chorus Line.
What does that mean for you, the person trying to choose a show this week? Two things. First, a Tony win pushes demand up fast, so the winners that are still running are the ones to lock in early. Second, the awards are a useful filter in a crowded season: they point you at the productions the industry itself rates most highly right now.
June is also quietly one of the better months to see a show. The deep summer tourist crush has not fully arrived, the theatres are a welcome pocket of cool air on a warm afternoon, and the schedule is full, with the new winners settling in and the long-runners performing eight shows a week. If you have been meaning to see something specific, the next few weeks are a sweet spot before the high-summer crowds build through July and August.
The Tony winners you can still see
The good news for visitors this June is that the two most decorated productions are both mid-run. Death of a Salesman continues through the summer and is on sale from USD 100.56, a chance to see the production the industry just crowned. Ragtime, the sweeping turn-of-the-century American musical, plays on from USD 164.40 and is the must-see revival of the moment after its Best Musical Revival win.
These are limited runs in the sense that revivals do not stay forever, so this is the window. If you want the night the city is talking about, one of these two is your answer.
The long-runners that never let you down
Beyond the winners, Broadway's reliable giants are all playing this week, and for many first-time visitors one of these is the right call. Hadestown, the Tony-winning folk retelling of the Orpheus myth, is on sale from USD 67.80. Chicago, celebrating another anniversary this season, runs from USD 81.00, and The Book of Mormon keeps landing its punchlines from USD 75.24.
For families and fans of spectacle, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child works its stage magic from USD 68.16, and Disney's Aladdin continues its long run at the New Amsterdam. Newer hits are holding strong too: and Juliet reworks Shakespeare into a pop singalong from USD 88.20, the comedy phenomenon Oh, Mary! plays from USD 93.84, and last season's Best Musical Maybe Happy Ending is on sale from USD 64.08.
For something a little different
If you have seen the classics, this season has texture. The Great Gatsby brings Jazz Age glamour to the stage from USD 68.40, while Moulin Rouge! The Musical turns the Al Hirschfeld Theatre into a Montmartre fever dream from USD 103.80. If you are seeing the latter, our complete seating guide to Moulin Rouge at the Al Hirschfeld will help you pick the right seats for the immersive staging.
For a jolt of the unexpected, Stranger Things: The First Shadow brings the Hawkins origin story to the stage with some of the most ambitious effects on Broadway, on sale from USD 86.70. And the acclaimed revival of The Outsiders, last season's Best Musical, continues its run for fans of the S.E. Hinton story.
Best value on Broadway this week
If your budget is doing the choosing, the current season has real range. Based on our prices verified the week of 9 June 2026, the most accessible starting points among the big titles are Maybe Happy Ending from USD 64.08, Hadestown from USD 67.80, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child from USD 68.16 and The Great Gatsby from USD 68.40. At the other end, the freshly crowned Ragtime sits at the top of the range, which is what a Best Musical Revival win tends to do to a price.
A pattern worth knowing as you plan: musicals usually carry a higher entry price than plays, and the very newest hits and award winners hold their prices firmest. If you are flexible on title, a Wednesday or Thursday performance of a long-running show is usually the gentlest on the wallet across a June week, while Friday and Saturday nights of a Tony winner are the steepest.

How to choose, and how to book
A few practical notes for the week. Matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are the easiest performances to slot into a packed New York itinerary, and they often have the best availability across a busy June. If you are bringing children, lean toward the family titles above and check running times, since some of the dramas run long. And if you are torn between two shows, our personality-based guide is a quick way to break the tie.
Every show linked here is on sale through tickadoo, which is built by the founders of London Theatre Direct, so you are buying through a team that has handled live theatre tickets for years. Prices in this guide were verified the week of 9 June 2026 and move with demand, which after a Tony week tends to mean upward for the winners. Whichever show you land on, booking ahead beats arriving on the night and hoping, especially for the productions everyone is talking about this week.
