Broadway on a Budget?

Hey everyone!
I'll be in the city this Sunday, and my family and I are hoping to catch a few shows. We basically only have Sunday to see anything.

Anyone know of a good, reasonably priced show to see? We still don't have tickets.

We've seen Wicked, Rent, Lion King, Jersey Boys on tour, have no interest in Legally Blonde and tried (with no luck) to get Little Mermaid tickets. It's gonna come down to whatever has tickets available on that day.

I also know about Student Rush and TKTS but don't know the actual logistics of how it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely try to get tickets to Xanadu! They have $41 onstage seats and also have a rush policy.

Oh, I just remembered, Is He Dead? has student rush tickets for $26 each and the seats are either orchestra or front mezz. I highly recommend seeing Is He Dead?

GO FOR XANADU!

I'm seeing Passing Strange on Sunday, there is a discount code going around for $21.50 tickets in the balcony.

Try for the Avenue Q lotto. They have lottery tickets for 21.25.
Or you can check tkts for Q.
Q is my favorite show. (As long as you are all over 12)

PS You have seen a lot of theater. I would suggest doing two shows on Sunday.
Avenue Q and Forbidden Broadway.
Forbidden Broadway has student tickets. It is so much fun.

http://www.avenueq.com

Both have adult themes and are not for children.

They also have 40 dollar tickets for a great farce:
IS HE DEAD. It was written by Mark Twain and it is a lot of fun.
If you like funny plays it is another must see.

I also loved 39 STEPS. (Roundabout)

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY shouldn't be missed.

From your list, it looks like you want to see musicals. If you want to see a play, I suggest August: Osage County.

Other than rush or tkts, the cheapest way to shows is broadwaybox.com. They list discounts to every show that has them, and you'll see where you're seated and with no lines.
Oh, and count me in as another recommendation for Xanadu!

Just checked some discounts on Theatermania and Broadway box. They both had the same offer. I have never used Broadwaybox but you can see where you are sitting when you order from Theatermania. And you can choose the seats you want from those that are available from a seating chart.

Hope this helps... I suggest getting an Orchestra seat as opposed to onstage seats for your first time...you can seat onstage- next time you go back.. I am sure...you'll go back... ENJOY!
