Tour members will also have the opportunity to visit several cultural sites, including Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the New York Stock Exchange and the backstage of the Metropolitan Opera.

Cost is $2,900, which includes round-trip airfare from Boise, six nights of hotel accommodations in the theater district, tickets to theater and music performances, admission charges, guided tours, additional sightseeing and activities, selected meals and credit or noncredit fees.
