Disney
Gives Schools First-Class Treatment
When
you let your students discover the wonder and joy of Disney on
Broadway, we’ll make the experience unforgettable! This school
year give your students a day to remember by taking advantage
of Disney’s educational program, which provides schools with special
rates for groups of 15 or more for Beauty and the Beast, Aida
and Lion King.
In addition, because we know that you want to provide the necessary
adult supervision, Disney gives educators one free ticket for
every 15 purchased at all three shows. Flexible policies allow
teachers to pay in full 2-3 months before the performance. Disney
invites schools to dedicate an entire day to the theater and to
enhance the group’s experience by taking a historical tour of
the New Amsterdam Theater the morning prior to the performance.
Built in 1903, the New Amsterdam has long been the crown jewel
of Broadway’s theaters. After a two-year restoration process that
led to the theater’s re-opening in 1997, the theater now hosts
Disney’s Tony Award winning musical, The Lion King. The New Amsterdam
Theater is the perfect venue for events ranging from 15 to 1800
people. The theater and its two historic rooms, The Ziegfeld Room
and the New Amsterdam Room, can accommodate everything from a
full production to an intimate candlelight dinner. For more information
please call Amy Andrews at 212-282-2907.
We will help teachers arrive to the theater prepared. For every
show Disney has developed study guides that help teachers develop
projects, discussion and activities. And, for those students who
always have a question after most Wednesday matinees, members
of the cast, orchestra or crew are available to appear for special
Q & A sessions with students.
Students can also enjoy discounts on Disney on Broadway souvenir
merchandise, as each member of your group will receive a merchandise
coupon for great savings at the theater. Teachers can also arrange
special lunch savings at McDonald’s Times Square location, which,
with seating of over 2000, specializes in school groups customized
for any budget. Finally, groups save on Gray Line New York bus
charters, as special Disney promotional rates are available.
