What does “Broadway” mean in English?

Broadway is a long street in New York City, but the word means much more than the street. For English speakers, “Broadway” also means the group of large theaters near Times Square where professional musicals and plays run every night. When someone says “I want to be on Broadway,” they mean a top stage career, not a street sign.

On the show, the singer says “The dream is to be a Broadway performer,” and then sings “Think of Me,” a song from the musical The Phantom of the Opera. A performer is anyone who acts, sings or dances on stage. The judge also jokes that he is “a one-word artist like Madonna,” a singer known by one name only.
