Kelli O'Hara, Marlee Matlin, and Adorable Child Stars Kick Off Kids' Night on Broadway

Tony winner Kelli O'Hara (The King and I) and Oscar winner Marlee Matlin (Spring Awakening) have announced the 2015 edition of Kids' Night on Broadway, which will take place on Tuesday, February 9, 2016. The pair will serve as the annual event's National Ambassadors.

Kids' Night on Broadway, a year-round national audience-development program of the Broadway League, allows children age 18 and under to see a participating Broadway show for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult. Kids' Night on Broadway will take place in multiple cities around the country, including New York. Tickets will go on sale November 3.

"As a mother of two in real life and a school teacher currently on the stage, I love to promote all arts but especially theatre to kids of all ages," O’Hara said in a statement.

"I’ve always believed in sharing theater experiences with kids, having started in theater when I was 7 years old, when no one thought a young deaf girl could be on a stage," Matlin added. "For me, it’s important to bring all kids to experience theater, hearing, deaf, and otherwise abled. Theater is where a child’s imagination knows no barriers and their dreams can come true."
