12 Best Broadway Musical References in Ted Lasso

The beloved award-winning streaming series, Ted Lasso, endeared itself to audiences with pop culture references in its storylines (which included several subtle and direct nods to Broadway musicals). This might seem odd considering that Ted Lasso is about an American college football coach who takes the reins of a fledgling professional soccer team in London. However, since the theater is where many of the cast and crew first got into show business, it makes sense for them to honor their first love.
