How to cancel BroadwayHD and stop paying for streaming theatre you won't watch

What is BroadwayHD and is it right for you

BroadwayHD is a US-based streaming service that brings recorded stage productions, musicals, and theatre programming directly to your device, whether you're at home or on the move.

You subscribe monthly or annually to access a library of filmed Broadway shows, West End productions, and related theatrical content. The service also offers individual show rentals through third-party app stores like Apple and Google if you prefer to pay per title rather than commit to a subscription.

The platform is designed for theatre enthusiasts who want professional-quality stage performances without leaving their lounge. However, if you signed up during a trial period, out of curiosity, or because the promotional offer no longer appeals to you, cancelling is straightforward once you know where to look.

Who uses BroadwayHD

BroadwayHD suits people who actively enjoy recorded theatre, musicals, and stage performances. You might be a regular theatre-goer who wants on-demand access to productions you've missed, or someone exploring Broadway content for the first time.

If you find yourself scrolling past the same titles week after week without pressing play, that's often a sign your subscription isn't delivering value. Stopee recognises that subscription drift is real, and cancelling a service you're not using is a smart financial move.

Pricing overview for new zealand users

BroadwayHD pricing varies depending on whether you subscribe directly through their website or via a third-party platform like the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Amounts displayed in New Zealand dollars will vary depending on current exchange rates and any taxes applied by your payment provider or App Store region. When you cancel, you'll stop future charges at the next renewal date, but you retain access until your current billing period expires.

Why you might want to cancel BroadwayHD

Common reasons to step away

You've decided to cancel BroadwayHD for any number of legitimate reasons. Perhaps you subscribed during a promotional period that ended and the full price no longer feels justified. Maybe you realised the content library doesn't align with your tastes, or you're consolidating streaming subscriptions to cut household costs.

Some subscribers cancel because they've exhausted the titles they wanted to watch, or life circumstances have changed and entertainment spending needs to tighten. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through a cancellation that's clear, fast, and hassle-free.

Cost versus value assessment

At USD 19.99 per month (roughly NZD 35-37 depending on exchange rates), BroadwayHD is priced as a niche service for devoted theatre fans. If you're watching fewer than one full production per month, the value proposition drops quickly.

Conversely, if you're an active user who loves stage performances and regularly returns to the platform, the subscription may justify its cost. Be honest about your actual usage patterns over the past three months. If you've logged in fewer than five times, cancellation is almost certainly the right move.

How to cancel BroadwayHD step by step

Cancel via the BroadwayHD website (direct subscription)

If you subscribed directly through BroadwayHD's website using your credit card or debit card, follow these steps to cancel your subscription and stop future charges.

1. Visit broadwayhd.com in your web browser and log in with your account credentials.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page.
2. Click your profile name or avatar in the top-right corner of the page.
   • You'll see a dropdown menu with account options.
3. Select "Subscription" or "Manage subscription" from the menu.
   • This takes you to your active subscription details.
4. Click the "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel" button.
   • BroadwayHD may ask you to confirm your reason for cancelling or offer a discount to stay. You can skip these prompts.
5. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
   • You'll receive a confirmation message on screen and via email. Your subscription will not renew after the current billing period ends.

Pro tip: Screenshot or note the date of your final billing period so you know exactly when your access will expire. This prevents accidental surprise charges if the cancellation doesn't process as expected.

Cancel through apple app store (iPhone, iPad, or mac)

If you subscribe to BroadwayHD via the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not within the BroadwayHD app itself.

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings and tap your name at the top of the screen.
   • This opens your Apple Account page.
2. Select "Subscriptions."
   • You'll see a list of all active App Store subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
3. Tap "BroadwayHD" from the list.
   • If you don't see it, scroll down-inactive subscriptions sometimes appear below active ones.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Edit subscription."
   • A confirmation prompt will appear.
5. Confirm the cancellation by tapping the final confirmation button.
   • Apple will email you a receipt showing the cancellation is in effect.

For Mac users, open the App Store app, click your name in the bottom-left, select "View Account," then "Manage Subscriptions." Find BroadwayHD and click "Edit" to cancel.

Warning: Deleting the BroadwayHD app from your device does not cancel your subscription. You must follow the steps above to prevent future charges.

Cancel through google play (Android devices)

Google Play subscriptions are managed separately from the BroadwayHD app. To cancel, you'll work through Google's subscription portal on your Android phone, tablet, or via a web browser.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Alternatively, visit play.google.com in a web browser on any device linked to your Google account.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
   • On a web browser, click "Account" in the top menu.
3. Select "Payments and subscriptions" (or "Manage subscriptions" on the web).
   • You'll see all active Google Play subscriptions.
4. Tap "Subscriptions" and then tap "BroadwayHD."
   • This shows your subscription details and renewal date.
5. Tap "Cancel subscription."
   • Google will ask why you're cancelling. Provide feedback if you wish (optional) and confirm.

Pro tip: If you've used multiple Google accounts or devices, check that you're logged into the correct account. BroadwayHD subscriptions are tied to the Google account that initiated the purchase, not the device itself.

What happens after you cancel your subscription

Your access and viewing period

Cancelling BroadwayHD stops future auto-renewal but does not immediately lock you out of content. You've paid for your current billing period, and you retain full access to the service until that period expires.

For example, if you cancel on 15 March and your monthly renewal was scheduled for 30 March, you can continue watching until 30 March. After that date, your account becomes inactive unless you resubscribe.

Your account and viewing history

Your BroadwayHD account, saved preferences, and viewing history remain on file even after cancellation. If you decide to resubscribe in the future, you can log back in and your history will be there.

You do not need to delete your account unless you specifically want to remove all personal data associated with it. Many people keep inactive accounts for convenience should they return later.

Automatic renewal stops immediately

Once your cancellation is processed, BroadwayHD will not attempt to charge your payment method again. You won't see a renewal charge on your credit card or App Store billing after your access period ends.

Stopee recommends checking your bank or payment provider's transaction history after 10 days to confirm no charge has appeared. If a charge does occur after cancellation, contact BroadwayHD support or your payment provider immediately.

Refunds and your consumer rights in new zealand

BroadwayHD's refund policy

BroadwayHD's stated policy clearly states that no refunds or credits are issued for subscription fees, regardless of how much of your billing period remains or whether you've watched any content.

This applies even if you cancel a day after your renewal date. The moment your subscription renews, that money is non-refundable under BroadwayHD's terms.

Third-party subscriptions (Apple, google, amazon, roku)

If you subscribed to BroadwayHD through the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Roku, or another third-party platform, BroadwayHD cannot issue refunds directly. Your payment was processed by the third party, not BroadwayHD.

To request a refund for a third-party subscription, you must contact the platform that charged you:

• Apple App Store: Visit Settings, Subscriptions, tap BroadwayHD, then "Report a Problem" or contact Apple Support directly.
• Google Play: Open the Play Store, visit your subscriptions, select BroadwayHD, and choose "Cancel subscription" or request a refund through the Help Centre.
• Amazon: Log into your Amazon account, navigate to "Your Memberships and Subscriptions," find BroadwayHD, and request a refund or cancel.

Your rights under new zealand's consumer guarantees act

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have statutory rights that may override BroadwayHD's refund policy in specific circumstances. If the service is faulty, unfit for purpose, or doesn't match the description at the point of purchase, you may be entitled to a refund.

For example, if the platform is permanently down and you cannot access content for an extended period, or if BroadwayHD advertised features that don't exist, these could constitute breaches under consumer law.

If BroadwayHD refuses to issue a refund or address your complaint after you've cancelled, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau. Stopee encourages you to keep records of all communications and screenshots showing the issue.

When refunds are possible

Refunds may be approved in these scenarios:

• You were charged in error (duplicate charge, wrong amount).
• You requested cancellation before a renewal date, but were still charged.
• The service was unavailable or non-functional for a significant portion of your billing period.
• You're a child under 13 and the account was opened without parental consent (applicable in some jurisdictions).
• The cancellation failed to process on the platform (e.g., Apple, Google) despite your request.

Pro tip: If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact BroadwayHD's support team in writing (via their Help Centre or by email to any listed support address) within 30 days of the charge. Document everything and reference the Consumer Guarantees Act if applicable.

Common mistakes when cancelling BroadwayHD

Mistakes that leave you vulnerable

Cancelling a subscription sounds simple, but small oversights can cost you money. The good news is that knowing these pitfalls in advance means you can avoid them entirely.

Deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

This is the most common mistake. Removing the BroadwayHD app from your phone does absolutely nothing to stop charges. Your subscription remains active in the background, and your payment method will be billed at the next renewal date.

Always cancel the subscription through the payment platform (BroadwayHD website, Apple Settings, Google Play, or Amazon) before you delete the app. Deletion is optional and only tidy-up work.

Cancelling on the wrong platform

If you subscribed via Google Play but try to cancel via the BroadwayHD website, your cancellation won't take effect. Your subscription is tied to the platform that processed the payment, not to BroadwayHD itself.

Check your email receipt or payment history to confirm whether your subscription is through the BroadwayHD website directly, Apple, Google, Amazon, or another service. Then cancel through that exact platform.

Assuming a pause equals cancellation

Some streaming services offer account pauses or subscription holds. BroadwayHD does not. If you want to stop paying, you must fully cancel the subscription. There is no "pause for 3 months" option.

Not confirming the cancellation

Always wait for a confirmation message on screen and check your email for a cancellation receipt. If you don't receive one within 24 hours, log back into your account and verify the subscription is no longer listed as active.

If your cancellation hasn't registered, repeat the process or contact BroadwayHD support immediately to escalate.

Ignoring the date your access expires

Cancellation stops future renewals, but you keep access until the end of your paid period. If you're unsure of that date, note it down right after cancelling. On that date, log in one final time to confirm you've been locked out. If charges continue after that date, file a dispute with your payment provider.

Checklist before you cancel

Use this checklist to ensure you cancel correctly and avoid costly mistakes:

1. Confirm which platform processed your BroadwayHD payment (BroadwayHD website, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.).
2. Log into that platform's subscription management area (not the BroadwayHD app).
3. Locate your active BroadwayHD subscription in your subscriptions list.
4. Click "Cancel subscription" and confirm the action.
5. Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation message.
6. Check your email for a cancellation receipt within 24 hours.
7. Note the date your current billing period expires.
8. Log back into your account 24 hours later to verify the subscription no longer shows as active.
9. After your access period expires, confirm you can no longer log in or that the service prompts you to resubscribe.
10. Check your payment method's transaction history 7-10 days after cancellation to ensure no new charge appears.

Contacting BroadwayHD support and escalation

Direct contact for cancellation issues

BroadwayHD is a US company without a published postal address specific to New Zealand. If you need to reach them regarding a cancellation problem or dispute, use the following channels:

• Visit the BroadwayHD Help Centre at broadwayhd.com/help (or search "contact" on their website).
• Submit a support ticket via their Help Centre with details of your issue.
• Check your original subscription receipt or confirmation email for a support contact email address.

When contacting support, include your account email, subscription plan, the date you requested cancellation, and any confirmation or reference numbers you received.

If BroadwayHD refuses to cancel or disputes the cancellation

If you've followed the correct cancellation process but BroadwayHD continues to charge your payment method, escalate immediately:

• Contact your bank or credit card provider and dispute the charge as unauthorised or request a chargeback.
• Report the issue to your App Store provider (Apple, Google, Amazon) if you subscribed through them.
• File a complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) if you believe BroadwayHD is engaging in unfair billing practices.
• Seek advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau (cab.org.nz) for guidance on consumer rights.

Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations and consumer disputes. Keep detailed records of all your communications, cancellation confirmations, and payment statements. These documents are your proof if you need to escalate to a payment provider or consumer authority.

Summary and next steps

Cancelling BroadwayHD is straightforward once you know the correct process. Whether you subscribe directly or through an app store, the key is to cancel on the platform that charged you-not within the app itself.

You'll stop future renewals immediately, but keep access to content until your current billing period ends. No refunds are issued for unused time under BroadwayHD's policy, though the Consumer Guarantees Act may offer protection if the service is faulty or misrepresented.

Avoid common pitfalls like deleting the app without cancelling, and always confirm your cancellation via email. If issues arise, escalate to your payment provider, the relevant app store, or the Commerce Commission.

If you're cancelling because you're consolidating streaming services or reassessing your subscription portfolio, Stopee recommends reviewing all your active subscriptions quarterly. Small monthly charges accumulate quickly, and staying on top of what you're actually using helps protect your budget.

Stopee is committed to empowering New Zealand consumers to take control of their subscriptions and their spending.
