How to see a show on Broadway by disigner

"Awesome, a wonderful memory to have..."

How I did it: Was in New York on a class trip. One of our tutors suggested we go to the box office in the morning - I think it was on a Wednesday? - Where they offer cheap tickets for performances that night, basically to fill up the theatres. I wasn't mad keen actually but thought it would be an experience if nothing else, I was never a musical fan so wasn't sure I'd be into it. I said I'd be willing to see anything other than 'Phantom' though. Well, luckily for us all we settled on 'Mamma Mia!' - and loved it! It was a really great production, really funny, and obviously had some great tunes. We had a bit of a chuckle at the 'English' guy in it though, because as English girls in New York we could spot his phoney 'London' accent a mile off! :D

I'm really glad we chose Mamma Mia, and I've since seen the film, and bought Abba records, all of which remind me of the great time I had in New York, and a really great night in the Wintergarden Theatre. (Every time I see it or hear reference to in on TV I'm all like 'I was THERE!... haha, I am such a tourist!)

I would definitely recommend it.

Lessons & tips: Try and get your tickets cheap on the day (not sure if they do this every day though, have something in my mind about Wednesdays, but will happily stand corrected!) But obviously if you have your heart set on a particular show and are travelling a long way then you should book in advance to avoid disappointment.

    I want to see another one! 11 months ago

    About 2 years ago I saw Wicked on Broadway with my theater class and about a month or 2 later my mom took my sis and me to see Rent! They both were awesome! I try to convince everyone I know to see Wicked. I listened to the cd for months on end after seeing it_
    I really want to see Phantom of the Opera next, or the Little Mermaid!
    I’ve always loved Sweeney Todd and wanted to see that on Broadway before the movie came out…but it closed before the movie came out and before we could plan a trip to NYC.
    I also wanted to see the Lestat musical while it was playing but it was open long…I REALLY LOVE VAMPIRES and was dissapointed it closed before I got to see it:(

    I went to see The Seafarer over Christmas. I had already seen it at the National Theater in London, and it had two of the same people who were in it then, both of whom are brilliant, Jim Norton, and Conleth Hill. It also had David Morse playing Sharky, and he was brilliant as well. I could see this play over and over again.

    I did it! 23 months ago

    Yes, I kind of forgot about my 43 things account and what my goals were. About three weeks ago I saw Mary Poppins on Broadway and it was truly amazing. Some things were different than what I anticipated, but I tear up a little in the end. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Though it does not replace the magic of Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.

    I went to several Broadway shows when I was in high school. I’ve seen The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera (twice), and Chicago. Phantom is my favorite because of the awesome special effects! I love it when they drop a chandelier over the audience. I would love to see Beauty and the Beast.
