Of the 5 shows I just saw in New York in April, I only paid full price for 2, Wicked and Assassins (Got Assassins tix before they went on sale to the general public though). But I only ended up spending about $450.00 for about $700.00 worth of seats. I figure, if I can get a few seats at a discounted price, I will pay the 100 bucks for the rest of my seats. For me it beats paying $100.00 to see a concert in an arena anyday!
I paid full price for the 1st time ever to see the final performance of AIDA recently because I ordered the ticket online at the last minute and couldn't recall a discount code on the spot. It was well worth the price of admission. Before that, I'd never paid full price to see a show on BWay or at a regional theatre.
$100. no not for me. If I can't find a discount or see it for cheap in previews I will wait till there are discounts (like around closing) But I guess living in Manhattan and being on just about every mailing aand e-mail list for shows its not so hard
WICKED and MILLIE and LION KING.... hands down....AMAZING!!!

I won't say if I think any of the shows on Broadway currently are worth $100 and more, because it's an opinion and opinions lead to arguments. I will say, however, that I would pay $100 and more to see some of the shows (Producers, Avenue Q, The Frogs, et cetera). But are they worth it? Well, I guess they are, to me.

my family paid full price for Les Miserables. We went a month before closing, and had orchestra seats, so of course it was going to be $100. But Les Miserables is my and my father's favorite show, so the money was definitely worth it.
