Broadway on Broadway kicks off Back2Broadway Month (www.ILoveNYTheater.com). Back2Broadway Month celebrates Broadway overall and highlights the new season with free events, special ticket offers, great dining deals, talkbacks, concerts, interactive activities and more.
Bike To Broadway!
As part of Broadway on Broadway there will be free, secure valet bicycle parking between 9am and 2pm in the Broadway Plaza between 42nd and 43rd Streets. The Times Square Alliance is partnering with Transportation Alternatives to encourage New Yorkers to choose bicycling as a sustainable way to travel to Broadway. Bike valet works like a secure coat check - drop off your bike, take a ticket, enjoy the show.
Bike valet will also be available for theater patrons as part of Back2Broadway month on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm to 11:30pm between September 9th and September 25th, on West 46th Street in the Marriott Marquis space just west of the hotel parking entrance.

Posted: 9/2/10 at 11:42pmToo bad "Mary Poppins" won't be performing. I'm glad "Wicked" is performing though. I heard it wasn't going to originally.

Hi. Newbie here. Love this board. Love reading all of your posts!
I Need advice please. I've never been to the event. Just moved to NYC. How early should I be there? Do people camp-out the night prior?
I want to be as close to the stage as possible.
Thank you so much!

Posted: 9/3/10 at 12:32amIt's not necessary to camp out that night...I usually get there around 8:30 or 9 am (sometimes later) and I've never had a problem.

Awesome! Just the answer I was looking for.
And also judging from YouTube videos, we ARE allowed to film it right? I have a pretty big camera though. It's a prosumer brand. Panasonic HVX 200. Would they stop me cause it looks legit? lol.

Posted: 9/3/10 at 12:40amYeah I've filmed stuff before...I've never done it with a real video camera so I don't know if they would stop you, but my guess is probably not.

You shouldn't have any trouble. I filmed it a few years ago (with I think that exact same camera model!) with a big tripod and everything, and it was fine.

Posted: 9/3/10 at 1:47amIf you want to be super close (like in that front section right up against the stage), I would suggest getting there no later than 7:30 or 8. There's no need to camp out, and the early bird mentality for this event seems to have diminished some over the past couple of years, so you can arrive at 9 or so and still get a perfectly good view, but if you are really set on closeness, I would go earlier than that.
