Any other tips for making a 16th birthday special on Broadway?

You might want to take her to the Stagedoor. I think she might find that fun!

I really wish I could have done this for my 16th bithday. I instead went for my 18th and only saw 1 show. Now I regret not seeing at least one other.

And yes, she will probably enjoy stage dooring. The Legally Blonde cast is very friendly (from personal experience) and she will certainly enjoy them.

My junior year in high school I was on a UN Study tour and we saw the Wednesday matinee of Starlight Express and the evening performance of Les Miserables. Other than having time warp whiplash, none of us had any problem with two in a day. We were actually wishing we had one every night rather than a Sunday night of A Chorus Line, the Wednesday double dose, and Friday evening in the Village followed by The Fantastiks with an after-chat.

Hell, i've seen the same show twice in one day. On about 4 different occasions...

Chalk up another "nope" on the big-board.

I love watching 2 shows in one day, especially when visiting nyc. Basically after the matinee, I go out to dinner, take a nice walk, then right to the next theatre. It's always a great day when seeing 2 shows.

I always get an extra jolt of excitement when seeing two shows in one day, I find it a lot more fun than seeing two shows on two seperate days.

This is a great gift you have for her. Don't worry about taking her to see two shows in one day, she'll be fine.

I always see 2 shows when I come to the city. (It's a decent "hike" from where I live) And while it's tiring, it's funand completely worth it!

Definitely not too much. I live outside NYC so I do 2 show Saturdays whenever I'm able. I get to the city early in the morning and have breakfast, walk around and enjoy the city, see a matinee performance, have something light to eat and enjoy the city some more. Then I see a night performance, have a late dinner and cruise back to Albany in the wee hours of Sunday morning to recover and get ready for work on Monday. It's the best for me and a great way to spend a day!

I recommend seeing as many as you can. You never know when you'll get back to NYC.

When I was your daughter's age I would often see a matinee and evening show on Saturdays. Before the matinee I might see the latest Cinerama film, and inbetween the matinee and evening show, I would catch a show at either the Capitol or Loew's State...seeing a film and a personal appearance by someone like Ethel Waters or Juanita Hall or Dinah Shore, with supporting acts. All this and I never got tired and I *think* I turned out all right

Two shows in one day is nothing. During last years NYMF, I saw at least two in a day 4 times in a week. I also saw three in a day twice, and four in a day during that strech (20 total in 7 days).

I agree with sunflower12063, see all you can. You won't be sorry.
