Autumn is the most popular “event” season, which should come as no surprise given that it marks the start of the NFL, NBA, NHL, seasons, as well as MLB pennant races/playoffs. In New York, the start of these sports seasons is even greater, given the outsized metropolis’ representation across all major sports. And while Events 365 has plenty of Jets/Giants, Knicks/Nets, Rangers/Islanders, & Yankees/Mets inventory, New York’s vibrant performing arts scene should not be overlooked.

Here is a list of Events 365’s top picks for the upcoming Fall season:

After taking Broadway by storm in 2017 and winning an extraordinary 7 Tony’s (including Best Musical), a national tour has been announced to begin during the Fall of 2018. In the meantime, Ben Platt remains in the title role until November 18th before The Real O’Neals star, Noah Galvin, takes over the reins.

The format of the shows will feature Springsteen solo on guitar and piano as he reads excerpts for his recent autobiography, Born To Run. “Some of the show is spoken, some of it is sung.

Hamilton – The Musical

The hip hop infused Broadway musical has been the hottest ticket in town since its 2015 premiere. With celebrities, athletes, and politicians still lining up to attend performances on a daily basis, this groundbreaking musical shows no sign of slowing down.
