Buying tickets to a show its opening week?

I was in the process of planning a trip to New York to see the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA when I heard about American Idiot coming to Broadway. Unfortunately, these two events only have a 6 day overlap. How hard is it to buy tickets to a show on its opening week?

My Fair Lady (I really wanted to like it... I did. Maybe it was just the cast I saw...)
Light in the Piazza (also ducks for cover xD)
Mamma Mia (do I have to explain?)
There's more... but these I thought of especially :P

In my opinion, I think they should have eliminated Rhiannon tonight and left Lauren for the beginning of next episode. Rhiannon should have been long gone by now - she can't sing some of these songs for her life XP
I really am interested to see who wins - I could see it happening either way. Who knows what will happen :P

I've only heard the 30-sec previews on Itunes but I also noticed that Amanda Seyfriend has spastic vibrato. It gets to me sometimes, but otherwise her voice is fine. And I wasn't a fan of Pierce Brosnan's voice... does anyone else agree?
But who am I to judge? :P

I was so excited when I saw the Avenue Q cake last night... unfortunately I only tuned in for the end of the show when the cake was already completed (I like to watch the process :P).
Ella - I would definitely pay to go see that xD

I'm surprised that Avenue Q got #8... and I'm delighted :)
About Wicked - I think it should be placed farther down the list... but I can see why it was placed there.
I don't agree with everyone's comments about the Light in the Piazza. I found it to be very dull and not entertaining at all (though the sets were great).

Broadway in Bryant Park

I've never gone to see the Broadway performances they hold in Bryant Park and I'm planning to go in August since I'll be in the area. In general, what is the experience like? I need to determine if it's really worth it to go or not.

Thank you for all of the translations so far - they make listening to the In the Heights soundtrack so much more enjoyable :)
I know what you mean about your Spanish teacher. I have a lot of Spanish friends that have different heritages and they all pronounce things differently - yes I know, even though I don't speak Spanish I can tell when this happens :P

re: Best/Worst Performance at the Tony's?

Best: Gypsy - the performance just blew me away { not that I was expecting anything less  }.
Worst: Not counting the horrible performances from the trio of non-nominated shows - I would have to say Grease
Other notes: I disliked Whoopi as host ... but maybe that's because I already dislike her in general :P But I will give her credit for not being boring and doing better than some of the previous years.
And I realized that i wouldn't like Xanadu... Yes, the performance quality was great but I learned that it's just not my cup of tea... do you get what I'm trying to say? xD

How I'd love for Avenue Q to become a film - but I know it couldn't transfer to screen well unless some genius came along and could bring it to life *sigh*. And I doubt it would appeal to a wide audience. But I like Malice's ideas for casting :)
I personally would love to see some of Sondheim's works - all of which have already been brought up.
