Meet a Pro, See their Show

Experience:

The guest(s) will meet their BEYOND TIMES SQUARE Host and Broadway cast member at Sardi’s about two-and-a-half hours prior to the show for an hour-long visit.
Learn of the actor’s most nerve-wracking auditions, survival jobs before landing on Broadway, embarrassing moments on stage, etc.
After the visit, the cast member goes to the theatre to prepare for the show. The guest(s) are on their own until curtain.
Before the actor leaves for the theatre, find out what costumes they are wearing in the show, so you’re sure to pick them out! Enjoy the show, watching your new “friend” on stage.
When the curtain comes down, the BEYOND TIMES SQUARE Host will meet the guest(s) again and escort them to the stage door. Walking past the police barricades and through the stage door, the guest(s) will be exposed to the most private of private places on Broadway, as well as a chance to take pictures standing on the stage. Again, the BEYOND TIMES SQUARE Host will coordinate the post-show visit between the cast member and guest(s).

About Eric Gordon

Eric J Gordon has been working in the travel and tourism industry for over 25 years and founded Beyond Times Square, a leading New York-based company in 2003.

Eric is the son of Harold Gordon, the founder of Park East Tours, one of the first USA based African Safari Companies. Eric is a native New Yorker. He was raised just outside of NYC in Rockland County, but because of his parents love for NYC (they owned an apartment in Manhattan) and his father’s passion for Broadway Theater, Eric spent much of his youth in Manhattan.

Eric jumped out of college and into the safari business. After 10 years at Park East and selling the business, he moved on. Having spent so much time in New York, he declared himself a New York Expert. He saw the fragmentation in the New York City tourism industry and created Beyond Times Square, making many services available to travelers. He set out appealing to the group market and then moved on to private high-end luxury vacations in New York City, Washington DC, Boston, Philadelphia and Niagara Falls. The name Beyond Times Square grew and in 2012 Beyond Times Square became the preferred on-site tour company for the prestigious Virtuoso Luxury Travel Consortium. He also was voted on to the board of NYC&Co in 2014, serving as the first tour operator member.

Eric holds a BA in Psychology from the State University of New York College at Oswego and an MBA from Baruch College in NYC. He has visited 47 of 50 states, over 40 countries and counting.
