Tour description

Beneath the dazzling marquees and roaring applause of Broadway, a different kind of drama unfolds—one that has been running for centuries. "Broadway Ghouls and Ghosts" invites you behind the curtain and into the shadows where legendary performers and forgotten souls still linger. Join us on a chilling journey through the Theater District, where every stage whispers a story of its own, and the final bows are never truly final.

Our tour begins in Times Square, a world steeped in theatrical superstition and spectral activity. We'll unravel the dark folklore that is as much a part of Broadway's history as its hit shows.

Our first stop is the historic New Amsterdam Theatre. Here, you'll meet Olive Thomas, Broadway's most famous ghost. A Ziegfeld Follies starlet who died tragically in 1920, Olive's playful spirit is said to have returned to her beloved theater. Stagehands and performers have reported flickering lights and seeing her apparition—a beautiful woman in a beaded dress—in the wings. We'll share her heartbreaking story and explain why her mischievous presence is considered a good omen.


"Broadway Ghouls and Ghosts" is more than just spooky stories. It's an exploration of Broadway's soul—the passion, tragedy, and enduring magic that makes it a living entity, even after the lights go down. Our expert guides will transport you to a time when Broadway's legends were not just on stage, but walking among us, and perhaps still are. Do you dare to discover the "Great Ghoul Way"?
