So, the 2014 Super Bowl is taking over Broadway...literally. There's going to be a huge toboggan ride in the middle of Times Square with live sports broadcasts all week. Many Broadway shows have therefore altered their schedules for the impending arrival of the pigskin at MetLife Stadium. Never did we think we’d be writing an article about football (well, besides like, Lombardi) on our website, but here we are!
