As someone who writes about theatre, I have the unique opportunity to experience remarkable performances worldwide. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed everything from Broadway musicals to dance theatre in Jinan, China, and even a touring production of Hamlet by the Globe Theatre in Sierra Leone.
Adding theatre visits to our family holidays has become a cherished activity, whether it’s during a vacation or when I bring along a child on work trips abroad. My children have enjoyed numerous visits to renowned children’s theatres in London, such as the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon and the Little Angel Theatre in Islington. We once turned a work trip to New York into a pre-school adventure for my eldest, which included his first Broadway musical, a definite highlight of his trip.
For those who travel frequently, owning a Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card can enhance your travel benefits. Cardmembers earn two points for every £1 spent on the card, and six points per £1 spent at Marriott Bonvoy participating hotels, which can accumulate towards future stays.
New York is a hub for innovative theatre, with Broadway’s dazzling productions drawing both adults and children alike. The city boasts a variety of family-friendly musicals as well as specialized children’s theatres throughout. Staying at the New York Marriott Marquis places you right in the Broadway district, where historical theatres are just moments away. For families, having options like Priority Late Checkout can be invaluable, especially in a city known for its non-stop activity.
Exploring family shows abroad can also be surprisingly accessible and a delightful way to engage with local culture. The language barrier is often minor, especially in performances like puppetry or physical theatre, which are more prevalent in Europe due to historical and climatic reasons. On a trip to Berlin, we discovered an English language children’s theatre which was both educational and entertaining for non-native speakers. In Sardinia, a local puppet show captivated my children, despite them not understanding the language, proving that the arts have a universal appeal.
Our passion for theatre has inspired travels across Europe and beyond. Using a Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card, you can earn points to use at hotels in 144 countries, making theatre-centric vacations more attainable. For instance, staying at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh places you amidst a wealth of theatrical venues, particularly vibrant during the August festival season which features numerous children’s shows. Similarly, the JW Marriott Berlin offers proximity to several theatres with children’s productions often available with English subtitles.
After immersing in cultural activities, dining at the hotel using Marriott Bonvoy® points can be a great way to unwind and refuel, especially for young ones tired from a day of exploration.
The allure of theatre is year-round, but summer offers the unique opportunity to enjoy performances in open-air settings like Cornwall’s Minack Theatre or the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London, both offering family-friendly programming in stunning locations.
So, when planning your next family excursion, consider enriching your travel experience with a visit to the theatre!
