There are so many things that make Broadway special, but one of the most fun moments is when a favorite actor from a TV show is appearing in a Broadway show. Getting the opportunity to see long-time favorite actors from just feet away can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Luckily, Broadway is home to a ton of versatile actors who balance both screen and stage, taking the time to hit the boards when they have a break from filming.

This season is no exception. The hottest shows are represented on Broadway, from The Pitt to The Bear and beyond. Not to mention performers who made a name for themselves on shows we still love to rewatch, like Glee, Law & Order: SVU and The Big Bang Theory. Find out which of your TV faves are performing eight times a week on Broadway!
