Yeah, I know. I got my tickets via Broadway Box. Moulin Rouge is not being discounted, apparently. So, I had to pay regular prices. I will have stay 3 nights and be able to see 3 shows.
Sun. June 7 @7:00 p.m. "Chicago". I do hope I get to see the new Roxie, Emma Pittman. I'm hoping either Lana Gordon or Terra C will be Velma. I did get a discount for my seat. I always like to sit in the front row. I get a little self-conscious when I (silently) mime a good chunk of the lyrics to the show.
Mon. June 8th: "Phantom of the Opera" (I dithered about whether to see this show or not. I'm a "Phantom" virgin. What should I know about the show or the theatre, if it's my first time?
Tues. June 9th: Moulin Rouge (That regular priced ticket that I got was the last and least expensive ticket I could get. (Is Scott Rudin producing the show?) I also saw that very few seats remained available for that day. I hope Robyn Hurder (Chicago veteran) is there as Nini.
After the first two shows, I'll head out to Marie's. I hope that I can manage to see some of you at Marie's Crisis. Now that Supershuttle is dunzo, what airport shuttle might I use? I'm staying at the Mayfair, which is right down the block from the Ambassador Theatre on West 49th St. There were very few options...as most hotels were booked for that day. Also, I would like to venture out to a non-Manhattan borough. I've never been to the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn or Staten Island. I'll be brave and venture out to one or two of those places. I do want to visit Harlem and see the Apollo Theatre. I am looking forward to visiting NYC during the summertime. Also, I didn't realize June 7th was the night of the Tony Awards when I made my reservations.
One of the reasons I made my reservations at this time was that I got my tax refund in 4 days. I was gobsmacked. I needed to do everything with a certain haste, as desirable flight options were dwindling.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I've booked my first show. Wild guess. I'm seeing "Chicago" on Sun. June 7 at 7:00 p.m. Front row, center orchestra of course. On Tuesday, June 9th, I am seeing "Moulin Rouge". Good grief...the prices! I got the "last" cheap seat (Mezzanine) at $129.00. With charges, that ticket went up to $179.31. Also, I am kind of scared of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. I still have bad memories of the hordes of people coming down the stairs combining with the people leaving the orchestra section and combining with the crowd at the merchandise kiosk. That was when I saw "Cats" in December 2018. Now, I have to see what's available on Monday, June 8th. Any recommendations? 
Although if you ask me, they are both horror scenes during walk-out.
