Coming to NYC January 13-15

Posted: 12/9/06 at 5:22pm

Hi guys, the wife and I are going to be brave and drive to NYC for the weekend January 13 - 15. Question is: We really want to see DIana Degarmo in Hairspray... However, they have discounts for every performance BUT Saturdays... Do you think we should chance it and just show up for lottery or do you think they will release a new discount??? Any advise would be great! On that Sunday we're seeing at 2pm The Apple Tree and 7pm CHICAGO w/ Bebe.

if you go to TKTS they should have tickets for Hairspray. I got them on a Saturday night in the first Mezz Box on the left of the stage. Just make sure you either go to the other location or get to the times square one early.

Well, I'm not too sure we'll be there early enough for TKTS... We're driving to NYC and staying in Queens w/ friends and probably won't get there till around 3ish... I was REALLY hoping for a discount... I was wondering about trying the lottery since it'll be mid winter...

That's Martin Luther King Day weekend, which makes both the lottery and other discounts a bit less predictable in terms of what's likely to happen.

You can try standing room as a last resort but 3pm should be find for a sat night show.

You can also try BroadwayBox.com for free discount codes. Some offers let you bring a print out to the box office, for discount tickets, instead of ordering them onlime.

tthomas76, the fact that it will be dead winter only encourages more folks to come out and do the lottery. Since it's a holiday weekend, you can expect a lot of students coming in from their college breaks as well. It's a tough call as to whether there will be a discount for that Saturday, but I don't doubt it will show up on TKTS. When you leave Queens and head into the city, go directly to South Street Seaport to the TKTS booth there, and you should be able to easily snag a couple. But it will definitely be a mad scene at the Times Square TKTS.

Yeah, I was hoping that broadwaybox.com would have a discount but right now they don't and the last one they gave was for everyday BUT Saturday...

Oh, well... We may end up paying full price... We'll see... I've already seen the show but my wife really liked Diana during the whole American Idol thing.

I'm with dutch46mil on this one. "Hairspray" is a great show. Diana is fantastic as Penny and if you haved to, it is worth full price.
