Last year, we started this blog with a post of Broadway-inspired Valentine’s Day dates.  With a whole year of blogging under our belt, we decided to offer advice for 2016’s hopeful romantics – a new list of 14 theatrical twist to classic date-night activities.

 

(1) A Candle-Lit Dinner for Two

The Heath at the McKittrick Hotel is offering a special Valentine’s Day Dinner with a prix-fixe menu, complementary champagne, and live jazz.  Choose to dine on February 14th or celebrate a day early on the 13th.

(2) Go Clubbing

‘Broadway’s Supper Club,’ Feinstein’s/54 Below, is offering two Valentine-themed concerts this weekend.  First up is Love Songs for the VDAY Foundation on February 13th at 9:30pm.  Then, on the night of February 14th, catch either the 7:00pm or 9:30pm performance of Broadway Couples Sing I Do! I Do!

(3) Jetset

Grab your “Raincoat of Love” and go see the 2015 Tony Award for Best Musical winner, Fun Home.

(4) A Date with Him, A Date with Her

Straight at off-Broadway’s Acorn Theatre stars Jake Epstein (“Degrassi,” Beautiful, Spider-Man) as Ben, a 26-year-old investment banker as he navigates his relationship with his girlfriend, Emily, and his new love interest, Chris.

(5) Pub Crawl

Joe’s Pub, has two shows this weekend for you and your date:

Check out NYC’s most unbelievable aerial performance, FUERZA BRUTA at the Daryl Roth Theatre.  Their special Valentine’s Day Package can be purchased with the code “FuerzaDate” and includes tickets for $69 each, a pre-show glass of bubbly, and a rose for you’re special someone.

(6) A Night at the Opera

Experience (or, more likely, re-experience) Broadway’s longest running musical, The Phantom of the Opera.  Phantom is probably the most famous love story ever to hit the Great White Way, however dark and twisted that story may be.

(7) Online Dating…the Old Way

Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make me a Match.com.  Bartlett Sher’s revival of Fiddler on The Roof stars Danny Burstein as Tevye, the father of five daughters who wish to marry for love, whether or not these marriages comply with the family’s tradition.

Head over to STAGE 42 to see Trip of Love, where the songs and sights of the 60s come roaring back to life.  Use the code “OBWW2016” for a Valentine’s Day Buy One Get One Free offer!

(9) Write Love Letters

You and your date are going to have to wait a few days for this one, because Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of She Loves Me doesn’t start previews until February 19th.  But, you and your Valentine can spend Sunday night cozied up on the couch ordering your tickets!  She Love Me‘s all-star cast includes Laura Benanti (Gypsy), Zachary Levi (“Chuck”) and Jake Krakowski (“30 Rock”).

(10) See a Movie

The McKittrick Hotel is throwing a Valentine’s Day Supercinema party inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet.

We hope this list helps you make the night special with your special someone.  Happy Valentine’s Day!
