Next week advice Dec 14

You can check the TKTS live availability on the website - if you check it on Tuesday & you can buy next day matinee tickets that day there. The Lincoln Center location is the way to go if you have time to walk up there. This includes the Rockettes as well.
This is peak season so locking in your tickets might provide more peace of mind, but it’s a good point of comparison https://www.tdf.org/discount-ticket-programs/tkts-by-tdf/

Seating for Days of Wine & Roses ? Jun 14
2023, 01:47:02 PM
Definitely last row, intimate theater and the only place I wouldn’t want to be is first few rows, might be a bit close/looking up - unless you don’t mind that and really want them to sing in yuo

Very tall people sitting in front of you Jun 10

Other ideas:
Try to book an aisle seat so you can at least always lean to that side unobstructed.
Look at seating charts for any staggered seats or rows with an aisle in front.
Go to the theater with a taller companion when you can so they can more comfortably take the seat with the taller person in front! Growing up if a taller person came in the row, we made my dad take the seat behind them, and inevitably people behind us would start to do the same.

Health dining near the theater district May 18
2023, 08:25:54 PM
Also there’s a bunch of good smoothie options - I like the Green Machine from an independent shop just west of the theater district called Fresh from Hell on 47th st between 8th and 9th avenues. http://www.freshfromhell.com/#home
There’s also Juice Generation & Juice Press that are reliable chains.
Wishing you good health & enjoy your trip!

There are some good options in/near Bryant Park - there’s a Sweetgreen or Chopt salad bars, a Le Pain Quotidien and a Whole Foods that has a salad bar and seating on the 2nd floor. Bryant Park Grill or Juniors should also be able to make a salad to your specifications.

Can't decide between... Feb 5

Parade has an excellent cast & beautiful score but it is heavy topically. It is memorable and important so that would be my pick!

What to do on a Thursday afternoon in New York? Jul 11
2022, 09:31:23 AM
Ditto checking out the Drama bookshop.
You might also like the Performing Arts Library https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa adjacent to Lincoln Center, the plaza there is also all decked out for the summer. Pick up lunch nearby somewhere casual (I suggest Breads bakery) and eat lunch at one of the tables in Lincoln Center plaza, or in Central Park nearby.
The main branch of the library at 42nd st also has great (free) tours.
You could also check out the Civilian hotel which seems to be featuring Broadway memorabilia, though I have not been, per the local ethos to stay out of the neighborhood when not explicitly necessary! https://www.civilianhotel.com/about-us/4cs/culture

NYC Summer Recommendations Jun 27

Go to Shakespeare in the Park. Get drinks on the rooftop of the Met museum. Look up what’s going on at Lincoln Center’s outdoor Summer for the City events to see if anything is of interest. Enjoy your visit! https://www.lincolncenter.org/series/summer-for-the-city

Theaters Comfortable for Jun 13
2022, 12:27:35 AM
Circle in the Square & the Beaumont I think fit best overall, because of their curves they have more, smaller sections hence more aisle seats & spacing but I’d bet you could find a solution in any theater. If you start with the seating chart you can look for aisle seats that jut out wider than the row prior.
Some general other tips that might improve your/his experience:
If possible, go on a weekday - less crowded.
Get to the theater early

Restaurant recommendation near City Center?? May 6

Our go-to favorite in the area is Trattoria dell’arte. If you want to eat outside, try La grande boucherie.

Kristen and Bobby Lopez NY Pops Apr 26

I was there - pure joy in the room! If you check the performers IG stories you can see more pics & snippets of video. I hope they recorded it so people can see more…
Josh Gad did double duty singing from Mormon & as Olaf from Frozen.
They did an orchestra-only version of Do you want to build a snowman with students that was charming.
I thought everything sounded richer backed by such a full orchestra, minor mic issues aside.

Must see Broadway stars Dec 11
2021, 12:13:41 AM
All good picks -
Feel like the Drama Desk distinguished performance award winners are a good place to start if you wanted to direct a student to a starting point…
https://dramaleague.org/awards-history/
+ Andre De Shields, Cynthia Erivo, + ones you won’t likely see like Streisand or Julie Andrews…

Waitress is def worth seeing if you haven’t seen yet too.
Flying over Sunset at Lincoln Center is an unknown quantity but it’s a new musical that might interest you too

Assassins help Oct 11
2021, 05:10:00 PM
Nov 14th is listed as their opening night.
Nov 13th…you never know, can keep checking the site/email the box office to see if they keep a wait list. I usually like to believe nothing’s unavailable until the curtain rises but this is a tiny space so decreases the odds. Unless someone on here has more intel on if seats are being blocked during the run that could potentially be released later.
