Broadway shows have always been a New York family tradition, and never more so than around the holidays. In that way, Broadway and leading deli purveyor Boar's Head Brand® have a lot in common—leading to Boar's Head Brand® becoming a proud partner of the theatre this holiday season. As Sach D. Chopra, Boar’s Head Brand® Director of Marketing, puts it, “Boar’s Head and Broadway are longstanding traditions that bring family and entertaining together.”
Founded in Brooklyn just a few miles away from the heart of Broadway, Boar's Head Brand® has been a New York family tradition for over 110 years. Originally delivering product by horse-drawn wagon to small delicatessens, Boar's Head Brand® is committed to unwavering standards for quality, refusing to take shortcuts that compromise the integrity of its products.
This holiday season, bring your family together and make memories onstage and off. Before you and loved ones share Boar’s Head Sweet Slice® Ham—fully cooked, extra lean, and lightly smoked with exceptional flavor—Boar's Head Brand® is proud to present a look at five shows you can see this holiday season that you’ll remember for years to come.
