Now, the VOA Learning English program Words and Their Stories.
On this program we explore words and expressions in American English.
Today, we take another trip to the exciting world of live theater. For many performers -- dancers, singers and actors -- appearing on Broadway is a dream come true!
Broadway is one of New York City's first roads and longest. It is also one of the most famous!
Broadway's Theater District is between 42nd and 53rd Streets in downtown Manhattan. This part of Broadway is the heart of American theater.
Broadway was also one of the first streets in New York City to get electric lights. That is why some people call it the "Great White Way."
