Going to see a Broadway show is probably going to be a huge highlight for anyone visiting New York City. While it can also be wonderful to see these shows in your home city there is something quite magical about the whole world of Broadway New York.
If you are planning to visit Broadway and see a show it pays to book your Broadway theater tickets well in advance. The most popular shows sell out very quickly. The most popular current Broadway shows are The Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, Mamma Mia and The Lion King. If you are planning to see any of these make sure you get in early for tickets. Interestingly the longest running show on Broadway is the Phantom of the Opera and it continues to still be one of the most popular.
You can purchase your Broadway show tickets online from anywhere at anytime. There is also a wealth of information available about what is currently showing, and where. There is also plenty of information available about each of the shows in case you are not sure which ones might appeal to you. Broadway is not cheap but you may be able to find discount tickets online if you book far enough in advance, depending on the particular show. Matinee tickets of course can save you around 25% of the usual cost too.
Les Miserables has been the third longest running Broadway show. It re-opened in late 2006 with Judy Kuhn (from the original show) playing the part of Fantine. This show seems to open and close at various intervals so if this is one of your favourites it would pay to check whether it is going to be open at the time you visit New York.
Whatever kind of show appeals to your personal taste you can almost guarantee that you will find something among Broadway’s 40 theatres that will leave you mesmerized. Be sure to get a programme as a keepsake of your experience too. While it may be somewhat expensive to attend a Broadway show it will be one of those life time experiences you will probably never forget!
