Posted: 12/29/13 at 8:31pmDoes anyone know of any cool theatre themed NYE celebrations here in New York? Trying to finalize my plans and was trying to make sure I didn't miss anything. I know about Chita at 54 Below already & Fledermaus at the Met.

Posted: 12/29/13 at 9:12pmI believe THE FANTASTICKS is having a nice New Year's Eve celebration--with champagne. You let out right into the hub of things for the ball drop.

Posted: 12/30/13 at 1:06amThe theatre district is the last place I want to be on New Years Eve.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.

For anyone who has never actually been to Times Square for New Years... DON'T GO. I used to live on 51 Street between Broadway and 8 Avenue. For years I avoided the event as it seemed more hassle than worth. Boy was I grossly understating the experience. Times Square on New Years is crowded, cold, wet - and its a disgusting wet as its caused by being endlessly sprayed with sticky cheap champagne or worse, beer. The police are everywhere and won't allow you access to much movement. Basically, you enter a street and are stuck there. Getting around is near impossible, getting out is almost as bad.
I did it once. I will never do it again.

Posted: 12/30/13 at 3:56pmAfter a certain hour (around 5:00-6:00pm) the NYPD places barricades on all of the streets leading from 6th Ave and 8th Ave to Times Square. If you work at a bar/restaurant/hotel in the area you better have your employee ID. You will have to show your tickets for a show if you going to the theater. IF you are staying at a hotel have your key card ready to show. If you have restaurant reservations -- good luck depends on which you officer you talk to.

Not Broadway but Big Apple Circus is magical on New Year's Eve, Champagne and all.
