How to Grab Those Current Broadway Shows and Tickets

NOT available to public

Forget the critics, forget the costs; the imperative here is to see the current Broadway shows any way you can. See Neil Simons version of John Waters HAIRSPRAY. See the classics, like PHANTOM OF THE OPERA; LITTLE WOMEN; WHOS AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?; JULIUS CAESAR; FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Take in the more playful MAMMA MIA. Indulge in the grander THE LION KING. Revisit your passions in your favorite operas by attending the LA BOHEME re-make, RENT. But see current Broadway shows, one way or another.

What of you are not in New York or are not planning to visit new York, and cant get to the current Broadway shows? Dont despair. First of all, these shows run for years (the better and best ones, anyway). Second of all, the best are so successful and their so generous and respectful of the theatre arts world that the current Broadway shows get taken on the roadto Boston, Philly, San Francisco, and further.

What if you cannot afford current Broadway shows, whether they stay in the Big Apple or travel to Timbuktu? Ah, theres still no excuse: there are a number of ways you, too, can be saved. Or, er, you can save money and still be blessed with the most alluring, engaging, and cathartic of the arts:

If you are a studentcall (or contact via the net) the box office, and ask about student discounts. Many if not most current Broadway shows theatres, opera houses, and symphonic and other auditoria have a student price and/or a student group price.

For those senior citizen, you have the priviledge of getting discounts for the most number of events, similar to that for buses and restaurants, etc. Make sure when you go ahead and order the tickets, that you ask about these senior disount prices.

If you cantry for a same-day ticket. A ticket that is not called for at the reservation window by a certain time (often within a few minutes of the curtain call) is up for grabsat a greatly discounted price. Show up the day of the performance for whichever of the current Broadway shows you want to attend. Go to the reserved tickets window and ask if there are any no-shows. Also, tell the teller you will check back (at his/her designated time), or ask when you can return to check for no-shows.

Standing to watch a show is a lot cheaper for obvious reasons. Here in San Francisco, if you take an SRO ticket (Standing-room only ticket), you pay one dollar and agree to stand in the very last aisle in the very back of the theatreat the very top of the outer space seats. But, for a dollar, you can even bring your own munchies and even your binoculars to the current Broadway shows, shift your feet on occasion, even lean, in some instances, and check out any one of dozens of award-winning, heart-endearing and rewarding current Broadway shows.
