Broadway on Broadway

Anyone going this year? I have never been and just discovered the website online. Looks like a really great event. I wish I could photograph it, but it looks like 50,000 people show up, so I know I wont get any good photos stuck in a mob crowd.

anyone gone in the past? is it fun? how early do you usually arrive to get up front?

so kind of like an extended broadway at bryant park?

yeah i hear ya... i wish BWW would let me photograph the event so I could get up close without having to endure the inconvenience of the crowds, etc. I contacted them recently expressing interest in covering events on their behalf but i never heard back from anyone.

its tough to get yourself known as a photographer.

I was thinking about going but I never realized that many people show up. What time would you have to get there to at least get a good enough spot to see?

I used to go every year during high school and I would usually get there about 2 hours before it started and be in the first or second area, but from what I understand, the crowds have grown each year, so I don't know how early you'd have to get there.

I used to love this event, but I'm just not into standing around for hours in a huge crowd anymore. It can be really fun though, so I would definitely encourage anyone who's never been to attend, and I really wish they still aired it on tv.

What is it?

I was also wondering about the costume thing.. are they doing that this year does anyone know? Me and my friend already got our costumes
