The beloved Broadway board game Be A Broadway Star announces their new 2015/2016 Expansion Pack in time for the holidays!

The 2015/2016 season Expansion Pack is currently available to download for free at www.BeABroadwayStar.com, and includes brand new "Audition" and "Make or Break" cards featuring smash-hit shows like Hamilton, Spring Awakening, Waitress, School of Rock, Fiddler on the Roof, Something Rotten, An American in Paris, On Your Feet, The Color Purple, Fun Home and more!

Creator of Be A Broadway Star, Broadway Producer Ken Davenport says, "This board game has been a Broadway fan favorite for years, and is the number one selling Broadway-themed holiday gift on Amazon.com. Despite its wide popularity, I knew we had to keep the game current with updated cards featuring some of the top shows from each Broadway season. We will be releasing annual Expansion Packs in time for the holidays, so that theatre fans and their families can play and sing along with fresh show tunes from the latest and greatest that Broadway has to offer."

The Be A Broadway Star board game was released in 2011 as a one-of-a-kind game designed to get players singing and dancing on each turn with the goal of reaching the Broadway hall of fame. The game has been featured on the TODAY SHOW as one of Kathie Lee and Hoda's "Favorite Things," and has been featured in numerous holiday guides.

"Anyone who has ever wondered what it was like to see their name in lights can experience the thrill first hand. It is the perfect gift for any kid, or adult really, who has ever had the dream to be on Broadway," says creator Ken Davenport.

Copies of the game are now available at www.BeABroadwayStar.com and on Amazon.com for $29.99.
