Show suggestion for Fri 11/3?

Hi! I am fairly new to this board. I am traveling to NY for a long weekend on Nov 3. I already have a ticket to Hello, Dolly! with Donna Murphy on Saturday night, and a ticket to Dear Evan Hansen for Sunday matinee. Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive ticket for Friday night? Originally I wanted to see Waitress, and I was waiting until October to purchase discount seats through TodayTix, but then they just announced Jason Mraz starting that same day! Bummer, because I really didn’t care too much about him, it was more that I just wanted to see that show. So my question is, is it worth it for me to still buy a ticket for Waitress for that night, cheapest ticket for front mezzanine is now $169-179, or are there better shows that you all would recommend? I would greatly appreciate any advice! I live closer to the west coast, so I likely will not be getting out to NYC any time again soon. Thank you!

Come From Away!!

"Come From Away" is a must see!

If your still in town on the fourth, travel 30 mins north to see Company in Concert at Irvington Town Hall Theatre!

Totally, Come from Away.

If I were you, I would see The Band's Visit, especially at the discount price mentioned and good seats. You are already seeing this year's Tony winners for Best New Musical and Revival. You might as well see a musical that's already got very good reviews in its pre-Broadway run.

I don't know if Waitress is coming near where you live on tour. But if you really want to see that show on Broadway, why not do that?

If you're interested, go to telechargeoffers.com and enter promotional code TBVATC17. There are $79 front mezzanine seats available for your date."

I agree with this

If you like dance, may Isuggest Matthew Bourne’s The Red Shoes at New York City Center? I am really looking forward to this since I loved his Swan Lake. It also got raves in London. There are a few side Orchestra (and many side mezzanine) tickets available for $35.

The Red Shoes

On Sunday between 11-12 you can also experience the thrill of the elite runners finishing the Marathon in Central Park. Thisis typically an electric affair. Have fun!"


Thanks for the information! I do like dance, as well...I'll look into the Red Shoes, that would definitely fit in my budget. :). The telecharge guy made me nervous...he told me that there would be a good chance I wouldn't make it from JFK to Times Square for an 8pm show, especially on a Friday. However, if I take the subway, isn't that pretty reliable? I only plan on a small carry on and small backpack to make it easier to get around.

I am going to do a short running tour at 8am Sunday morning. I knew the marathon was that weekend but didn't know the details. That sounds fun, too. I appreciate your input!
