Dinner and a Broadway show may require a bigger commitment (and a lot more cash) than a night of Netflix and chill, but it's also much more memorable—assuming you pick the right production. Nothing tanks an evening faster than booking Misery instead of Les Misérables. Whether you're planning something after a Valentine's Day dinner, an anniversary celebration or just want to impress someone special, these 10 date night shows on Broadway (and Off Broadway) appeal to a wide range of romantic tastes.

NYC's longest running and largest immersive spectacle (six floors and 100,000-square-feet!) is loosely based on the Bard's Macbeth. But don't bother trying to make sense of it all—or even of sticking with your date. Instead, don your Eyes Wide Shut-style mask and wander aimlessly through this waking fever dream, where titillation and terror are doled out in equal measure.
The five boroughs are lousy with burlesque, but if you want to see the top practitioners of the art of the tease, hit this two-tiered, LES hot spot. Its signature Saturday night show, Mr. Choade's Upstairs Downstairs, features the biggest burly-Q stars around plus variety and circus performers. If you need a weekday dose of risqué, try Wednesday night's Glitter Gutter hosted by Slipper Room co-owner James Habacker. All shows are 21 and up!
