Early April multi-show trip (I know, I know...)

Husband and I going the first weekend in April. There aren't many Sunday eve shows currently, it might "just" be a 4-show trip vs. the usual 5 shows. Planning on "American Psycho," "Waitress," "She Loves Me" and either "Fiddler" or "School/Rock." There are discounts out there for AP and Fiddler, but nothing for Waitress, SoR or SLM, at least not that aren't expired by then. Any leads? (over 35, so the HipTix option is out for Roundabout)

Sadly "Shuffle..." has the note "...no preview performances between March 27th-April 3rd, 2016." We'll be there the 1st - the 4th. (Friday to Sunday)

We go about 2x/year so have seen most everything else (well, that we'd likely wanna see.) Might consider "Fiddler..." instead as I've actually never seen a full production. Haven't heard much either way about this mounting though aside from a few "meh"s, but still curious.

^ I would skip Fiddler for School of Rock - but it's a matter of taste obviously and what you enjoy.

Just as an aside..Finding Neverland has a Sunday night show and there are good discounts out there as well.

Personally, I loved School of Rock!! They offer rush tickets if you want to try to get cheaper tickets :)

I would want to see "Nerds", also "Color Purple" is fantastic, and definitely one of, if not THE best show on Broadway. Fiddler is also very well done.

It is not surprising in the least that someone who likes Fiddler because it is so lovely and such a classic would hate SOR.

SOR is not a lovely classic. What it is is a fun rock musical (you were surprised it was loud? Rock is in the title and is not generally a soft type of music) with some uber talented kids, a cute message about the power of music, and a score that literally has you clapping along at the end. It is the antithesis of Fiddler.

Only you know what suits your taste better. A lovely classic or a modern day rock musical.

I definitely would recommend Shuffle Along. No previews 3/27-4/1 but there are 2 shows on Saturday 4/2.

There is a nice discount through Broadway Box available as well.

I would also recommend seeing Steven Pasquale in Roundabout's The Robber Bridegroom.

Theatre mania sometimes has discounts.

for what it's worth, I've been thinking about Fiddler since I saw it two weeks ago. It is a can't miss.

Also, 1776 is running at City Center Encores that very weekend (March 30 to April 3), and they have a Sunday evening show, so that might be something to consider, or keep in mind until the announce the cast. 20% discounts usually pop a few weeks in advance."

I love whenever Daddy Long Legs is suggested because it's so high up on my shortlist! And I would easily recommend it over some Broadway shows. They might release another discount code in a few weeks that might extend to when you are here. If not, you can still get full price ~$60 tix in the mezzanine (mezz is only 3 rows). I've sat there and it's a good view, since the Davenport is a teeny tiny intimate theater.

1776 is probably also a good choice (I've already got my tix!) because Encores! does really well-produced quality shows. Considering how short they ]run, I've been impressed.

I'm super fond of SoR the movie and I love classic musicals, so I dunno how I would feel about Fiddler vs. SoR since I haven't seen either. But I hope I get to see both.

If you're asking me, then Waitress and AP for sure. Can't find much info on Nerds (the site is just a coming-soon kinda thing with a link to order tix) and $150 for a musical about Gates/Jobs doesn't interest me much (despite being a marginally techie Mac fan.) Their stories have been done to death in books, movies, etc. IMHO. I might add DaddyLL as a Sunday eve option. So, Psycho on Fri eve, Fiddler Sat day, SLM Sat eve, Waitress Sun day and DLL on Sun eve. (Will likely get tix to most this weekend; don't like to leave much to chance.)

Came across a discount code for Waitress and thought of this thread. The code ART1 should work for your dates.

Thanks! Seems to work, but there are no decent seats left for the 4/2 matinee. Guess I waited too long. So, we have "American Psycho" lined up for Friday night, "The Crucible" for Saturday matinee, "She Loves Me " for Saturday night, and "Fiddler" for Sunday matinee. Nothing yet for Sunday night, but "Daddy Long Legs" is in the running. Also, we KEEP meaning to check out "Sleep No More" (despite wildly mixed reviews), so that might take the last slot. Thanks all for the feedback!

If you're looking for Broadway, Something Rotten is great! So fun, especially if you see a lot of theatre. If you're into Off-Broadway I saw Ruthless, which was fun, but I LOVED Daddy Long Legs! The story, and the music too, is so beautiful! Definitely a show not to miss. I think they do rush, or you can try a site called Your Broadway Genius...they sometimes have Broadway shows too!
