RAGTIME, TITANIQUE, and More Will Have Tables at BROADWAY BETS

With tournament seats and table sponsorships sold out, only a limited number of all-access, non-tournament tickets remain for Broadway Bets - offering a final chance to be in the room alongside Broadway's biggest power players on Monday, May 18, 2026. The event's list of sponsors and tables has now been announced.

Broadway Bets is expanding this year with a move to the Edison Ballroom, bringing even more of the community's biggest names together. Broadway stars, industry leaders and theater fans alike will come together for an electrifying evening of poker, where seasoned players and first-timers will test their luck in a Texas Hold 'em tournament for the coveted title of Broadway Bets champion. All ticket levels include Edison Ballroom fare and an open bar.

A who's-who from the powerhouse companies and organizations of Broadway and beyond will ante up for a night of competitive cards and industry buzz at New York City's historic Edison Ballroom. Holders of the “Joker” all-access, non-tournament ticket can rub shoulders and revel in the joy of the evening, enjoying hors d'oeuvres and an open bar throughout the night, along with casino games like blackjack and craps.
