Normally, when I arrive in New York from London, on my first morning I will go around the theatres to collect my tickets, just in case there's a problem with the booking and I wouldn't want to leave that until just before the performance.
However, if there's a line outside the theatre when I arrive on the night I just pretend to be picking up my tickets which means I get to enter the lobby and get to the front of the line inside the venue!
(I know I'm going to get told off now - bring it on!)
