I've traveled to NY in May, 2009, and I've seen 13 shows at Broadway.
Considering that I wanna see "A Little Night Music", "Ragtime" "Adams Family", "Catch me If You Can", "La Cage" and "Steady Rain", in which dates/months should I travel to NY again?
November/2009 or April/May/2010?

Don't think it will possible to see all those shows in either month you suggested.
Pretty sure that Ragtime is a limited run (at least at this time) in the fall; and I thought I heard the same of ALNM.
Adams Family & CMIYC don't start until 2010.

Posted: 6/12/09 at 7:02pmI don't think NIGHT MUSIC is a limited run. It's a commercial production, no reason for it to be limited.

Posted: 6/12/09 at 7:10pmI wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly on that one. I'll get to see it no matter what, though.

Posted: 6/12/09 at 7:20pmYes, come to NYC in the middle of August. The weather is hot and humid and you'll probably pass out in the street.

Posted: 6/12/09 at 7:33pmI go in August as well. It's when my kids are with their father. Well, I come in almost every time they are with their father...the upside to divorce!! And it's not ALWAYS hot and miserable. Just most of the time!

I'll have to get into the city this weekend to check them out.
Does anyone know if the misters work? We've had so much rain that they probably haven't had any need for them.
