Hi there,
Sorry for being the total newbie here, but my wife and I will be attending our first broadway show coming up in April and I am torn between a few options. First of all, I would love to see War Horse but all shows are sold out when we are there already... do you recommend any other option for tickets if they are sold out for that show?
Secondly, my next choice is La Cage and was wondering about seats and if the 1st row of the Left Orchestra, 3 seats over would be too close and to the side to get a good view? I know there are cabaret tables in the front, so would they be blocking our view as a picture from their website looks like the cabaret tables are slightly higher than the first row. Another option of seats would be Right Orchestra, 5 rows back and 6 seats in out of 8. What would be best of those two choices?
Would you recommend any other show for newbies to broadway? We love musicals and my wife would like to see an over-the-top, spectacle type of show... are there good places to get Wicked tickets besides ticket master? I see Wicked has lottery tickets for the front row... is it impossible to get those and are they too close?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

-I think the seats for LaCage are good.
-The Wicked Lotto is very hard to win, usually there are 100's of people trying out for that lotto.
-I recommend Anything Goes, Wicked and The Fantasticks. How To Succeed and Priscilla are also fun, fluffy shows.
-Wicked is very expensive, so maybe you should skip it and see other shows instead, and catch the touring version of Wicked, that is as good as the Broadway version and way cheaper.

Also check out sites like BroadwayBox.com to look for possible discounts. You should be easily able to find one for La Cage, but not Wicked.
Without discounts, ticketmaster/telecharge is your least expensive option. Other sites are going to have HUGE markups -- sounless you are DYING to see something, it's not worth it. Under most circumstances, the codes are for use directly AT ticketmaster/telecharge.

Check this site out

Im not sure if the student rush will help you(not sure if you are a student or not)
But you should look into the lotteries and SRO
Some shows do SRO(Standing room only) if the show is sold out
Book of Mormon for example I hear the lotto is crazy but they have been selling standing room when they sell out for $27 which isn't a bad deal.
Also they sometimes do lotto loser discounts
How to succeed has a general rush
$30 sold when the box office opens
Anything goes has Hiptix (If you are between 18-35)
They also have a general rush for $21.50(I believe or somewhere around that price)
Also La Cage def. has discounts on Broadwaybox
Hope I helped
Enjoy the show

Pricilla has also been doing lotto loser seats for $40 as well
You should also check out American Idiot before it closes on April 24th

Posted: 3/21/11 at 7:50pmIf you care about price (and let's face it, who doesn't?), then consider the balcony for La Cage. I was worried that the balcony would be awful, but I felt like I was sitting at the front of the mezz. The seats were wonderful.

Whatever you do DO NOT rush La Cage
Spend the extra few dollars to sit in the balcony
The rush seats are HORRIBLE
