My parents couldn’t afford to take me to New York City when I was a child and the closest I got to theater with them was Disney on Ice as part of the state fair or being a part of local high school productions. In fact, I didn’t get to go to New York City for the first time until 2010 (when I was 46). Obviousl

Since it is Halloween month, I wonder if what your daughter gravitates/gravitated toward for Halloween costumes might suggest the better option of show. Princess costumes might suggest Mean Girls might be a better fit? Ghouly costumes might suggest Beetlejuice. But what do I know? I haven’t seen either an

Thank y'all so much for all the input!

Looked like Mean Girls was the unanimous choice there for a long bit, then Beetlejuice started getting some love, and now I'm also really intrigued about Moulin Rouge for them.  

Lots to think about to decide for mid-November and I appreciate you all weighing in SO MUCH!  Coming to NY and getting to see a play is a rare treat for us (Hamilton and Wicked were for the other daughter's 15th birthday) and so I do l

Thank you all SO SO much for the suggestions and opinions!

School of Rock would have definitely been high on the list but they aren't playing the night we could go (9/22).

My 12 year old has been dancing since she was 3 and is the creative/artistic one.  My 15 year old is the intellect/reader with two left feet so it's hard to find one they would both like since they are polar opposites.  That would be why I'm ruling Cats out.  I'm ruling o

I'm bringing my two girls, 12 and 15, to see Hamilton (thanks to you guys I got tickets after the Tony's!) 9/21 from the Deep South.  This is a rare treat and we are thinking now that we'd like to see another show on one of the three nights we are there.  Can you recommend one for us, a relative Broadway novice?
I was thinking of:
Matilda
Lion King
Aladdin
Chicago (because they love the movie music)

Open to any suggestions or opinions.

I just absolutely cannot thank adagio enough!!  I have tried for almost two hours for the new block of tickets with absolutely zero luck. I came on here, hesitantly, to read about the good fortune others were having.  I'm the one hunting for my daughter's birthday gift and she really wanted fall and I had resigned myself to paying a huge price for one ticket.  But, thanks to your kindness and tip, I just scored three orchestra row P tickets in September for wh

So, let me ask based on the prices we saw for pre-sale this morning and the likely free-for-all that will be Sunday night....(and I am truly sorry for wearing y'all out like this, it is just so important to get this right as this will be a big trip for us)

If I wanted to go ahead and buy the tickets for fall at resale prices, should I go ahead and do that before Sunday night when they will likely jump?  Fall just works better for us, schedule wise, though I hate to think o

Based on my cursory look this morning, my options for fall are:
Box G, H, F, E

Ah!  I never considered waiting until July.  I figured after the Tony's they were just going to go up, up and up again. I've seen $300+ increases in rear mezzanine seats just in the last week (I've been tracking and keeping a log, trying not to screw this up).  And I was GOING to go Stubhub because they were so much cheaper than TM...then read the story about the Shark Tank guy.  Sure wouldn't want that to happen.

I guess I wasn't worried so

The only thing my (now) 15 year old wanted for her birthday was to see Hamilton.  So, family pitched in yesterday and she got a "tentative" ticket to go in September, Oct. or early November.  I know prices are sky high so I'm only going to be able to afford ONE ticket.  We will be traveling from MS so of course I will be there when she goes in and there when she comes out.  I had hoped for a matinee for our comfort in waiting and her being alone, but the pric
