Job Shadow Opportunities in NYC?

I've job shadowed the stage manager over at The Lion King twice and was curious to know if any other shows (on Broadway or Off) allow opportunities to shadow the stage manager? Contact details would be greatly appreciated!

"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur

You'll never know until you ask! Unless you can get the SM at Lion King to hook you up, I would recommend just sending a letter to the theater, addressed to Stage Management, explaining who you are (a student I assume?) and that you would love to shadow them if they are available.

I'll give the advice that you'll have better luck in getting a positive response from the long-running shows where they have their well-established routines down and adding an extra person backstage is less likely to be a disruption.
