Going to NYC Monday...advice?

I am going for the day for an audition and I would like to see a show...but I know Monday is a pretty dark night on Broadway. What shows would you suggest seeing that actually play on Monday nights?

Avenue Q, Chicago, Phanton, Rent and Gypsy all have shows Monday night. I'm not too familiar with the Off-Broadway schedule, but I know a lot more shows play Off-Broadway on Monday nights.

Thanks, Frogs. Do you know which of these do student rush and lotto? I know Rent and Q do lotto, but I'm not sure about anything else. Also, of these shows and the current casts...which would you prefer?

Chicago has a general rush (extreme sides of orchestra) on sale when the box office opens. Gypsy has student rush, either day of (front row of orchestra) or in advance (rear balcony). I saw Gypsy last summer at City Center and really enjoyed it. Haven't seen Q and it's been over a year (Phantom) and two and a half years (Chicago) since I've seen the others, so I couldn't give a fair assessment.

Cry-Baby also plays on Monday nights. They have student rush ~ front row. $26.50 when the box office opens.

"Also, of these shows and the current casts...which would you prefer?"

The Avenue Q cast right now is solid. Sarah Stiles is adorable as Kate/Lucy and Ann Sanders is brilliant as Christmas Eve.

Given the options, I'd definitely recommend you see "Gypsy."

I haven't seen this GYPSY yet, but I couldn't imagine recommending anything else.

I agree with Gypsy as well. Break a leg with your audition and have fun at the show!
