For many travellers, the energy and bustle of New York City is part of the magic. But just beyond the skyscrapers and neon lights, the city offers enchanting escapes that feel like something out of a fairytale.

While Times Square dazzles with its futuristic billboards, visitors can just as easily step back into a world of castles, cobblestones, and timeless romance. & Juliet – a sparkling member of The Broadway Collection – reimagines Shakespeare’s classic in the kingdom of Verona, only this time Juliet lives on. Set to chart-topping pop anthems, the show whisks audiences on a colourful journey of empowerment and adventure, leading Juliet and her friends through the whimsical streets of Paris as she discovers love on her own terms.

Off stage, travellers can continue their fairytale journey at two of New York’s most magical landmarks: Belvedere Castle in Central Park and The Met Cloisters. With Gothic and Romanesque architecture, sweeping views, and serene gardens, these destinations transport visitors to another era-whether wandering castle turrets above Central Park’s lawns or exploring medieval courtyards alive with fragrant herbs and flowers.

Together, these experiences offer a different side of New York – one where storybook wonder is alive and well.
