Broadway options overview
Research
While planning your trip to the Big Apple, do a little research at least three weeks in advance and see which shows perform well on Broadway box office, what the reviews say, and more importantly, check which shows are on while you’re there to avoid likely hiatuses or sell-outs.
Theaters
There are 38 Broadway theaters that put on million-dollars shows to attract the crowds.
Although the tickets are expensive – 100$ and more – there are ways to get half-price tickets.
Ticket booths
New York has three discount TKTS booths. The main one is in Times Square, the second at South Street Seaport and the third one is in Brooklyn. Check out Tdf.org (tkts) for details. In the evenings, the shows start at 8pm, with matinees on Wednesday and weekends at 2pm.
Ballet performances
You can also have a look at top-notch ballet recitals in Lincoln Center, an experimental theater on the Lower East Side or you can explore some low-key non-profit productions of Chekhov or Miller in downtown revival theaters.
Media sources
Your best sources should be: Sunday and Friday editions of New York Times, weekly editions of New York Magazine,Time Out New York or the New Yorker. Other sources may include NYC Theater Nyc.com (theather) and All That Chat (Talkingbroadway.com)
