This article was the subject of an

The result was merge by silence
I'm proposing merger of
Broadway on Broadway ,
Broadway Under the Stars and
Stars in the Alley into this article. The merged subjects are short and not notable on themselves. They also lack references. The tone they use is close to
WP:ADS. I propose a section "Annual events" which will list these events in a short, informative way. --

Marketing point of view throughout article
There are fairly obvious signs throughout this article that it was written by marketers instead of legitimate Wikipedia editors. Removing small things like
registered trademark symbols isn't going to fix it; its style makes it obvious that the text was written by someone commissioned by The Broadway League, and has been put on Wikipedia as either a
conflict of interest, a
copyright violation, or both, and might even have to be rewritten from scratch if it was written by The Broadway League for anything purpose other than a Wikipedia article. Parts may appear in
About the League and its attached PDF, but I haven't looked that far yet; lots of the fluff cites it as a source, though. Examples of things that occur repeatedly in this article:
Non-ASCII apostrope and quote marks that don't occur when people are editing Wikipedia directly instead of copy-pasting. (Occasionally legitimate Wikipedia contributors write an article using a word processor that does this to apostrophes and quotes, but usually it's copy-paste marketing instead.)
Copied content was introduced to the article at 19:58, 23 July 2012 and following, including material from the current website, history pdf and other press statements ("Perhaps the most public endeavor of the League are the Tony Awards®, which the League has co-presented with the American Theatre Wing since 1967, playing an integral role in their governance, production, and presentation." was part of this
press release). Pending permission, this content has had to be removed. Of course, permission would not address any
WP:NPOV issues. --
