Oh Wouldn't it be loverly if you all helped me out?

I would check a site called BroadwayBox and type in the name of the show and any discounts will pop up. TodayTix simply uses those same discount codes to get you tickets, but they have a service charge tacked onto it.

I'd buy beforehand simply because rush is so very hit or miss.

You're only going to be there for three days and you have to line up fairly early for most shows to get rush, and even then, they may stop selling rush to the last 10-20 people in line, and you'd have wasted your whole morning.

Plus, it's very hit or miss with seating. Some shows give out front row orchestra seats for rush / lotto winners, but some shows will stick you in the rear mezzanine or partial view seat.

Obviously, this isn't much of an issue with Once on this Island or My Fair Lady because the Vivian Beaumont and Circle in the Square have overall good sightlines, but, not every theatre does.

I went on BroadwayBox and got a code for Once on this Island that gave me a hefty discount. You put these offer codes into TelechargeOffers (a separate site branch of Telecharge where you put in offer codes)

TKTS booth is also a good option, but once again, I don't really like letting destiny place me in seats. I much prefer seeing shows from seats that are good. I learned this mistake with rushing and being placed in the rear mezz of some show that had a giant bar that blocked absolutely everything, and this is coming from a tall 5"10 person. You don't want to be that person that gets all hyped up for a show, rushes it, and then finds out that you're sitting in the nosebleeds, in some partial view seat, where the sight lines are terrible.

Hey Human Heart, thank you very much. I wasn't familiar with Broadway Box so I really appreciate that.

Third broadway visit only rushed three shows out of near 20 in that time and those were King and I at LCT, Allegiance at TKTS and M.Butterfly Rush Line at Cort day Clive Owen was out so I've been very lucky seating wise for all those shows and great prices.

I rarely rush because I always have to travel be it into London, Paris, etc So I always pre-book. This trip while the flight is booked nothing else is confirmed and I have a confirmed booking summer 19.

I was hoping a show would propel me to confirm but Cher Show will be on next summer, I'd guess My Fair Lady will be on and the others are just fillers to make the most of a visit. I would like to see The Prom but it's not looking good and it's not enough to drag me across the Atlantic.

Is it worth paying $1000 for a hotel really just to see My Fair Lady and The Cher Show?

I enjoyed Torch Song off-Broadway, but nothing has made me think it requires a repeat visit. Especially if you never saw Once on This Island...

They’re $32, and you don’t have to be a student. You just have to have proof of your age. We got ours about two weeks in advance for this past Wednesday matinee.

$1000 for a hotel???

I would order tickets to The Prom early. It opens next week and if the reviews are decent, rush is going to be more difficult to get. I saw it last week and loved it!

$1000 for a hotel for three or four days???? I know New York is pricey, but even with the most basic search you can find better rates than that. If you'd like to stay in the theatre district I would recommend Row NYC. It was recently renovated, rooms are small but nice, and they have very affordable rates. But there are PLENTY of hotels out there that will come in under $1000.

I loved it at Second Stage I wrote academic papers on it and give Queer Theatre modules so I'd happily see it again. I do hope they have the revised text on sale. I would like to see Island if Alex is still in.

I've looked at the Row Nyc but discounted it because of the service charge/resort fee thing. We don't get that over here and I don't know why but I prefer it inclusive it seems petty to divide the charges. It's probably I'm just not used to it.

Will people be looking at you as if you are dodgy? It just seems like an odd scenario and not one I've experienced before but i notice a lot of Today Tix shows are Concierge meet outside."

Very easy to spot the TodayTix staff. They wear big red jackets that say TODAY TIX. Plenty of people use it, and different people on here have different opinions. And you won't have to wait in the long box office line.

Thanks very much, I'm just being incredibly stereotypically British and worrying about being embarrassed or shamed :)

Resort fee??? It's just a regular hotel like the Hilton or any name hotels.
