My mom is visiting the last week of July, and while she’s visited me every year I’ve lived here, we’ve never gone to a Broadway show. This year I’d like to take her to a musical.
I know where to go online for reasonably-priced tickets (theatremania.com, etc.) but can anyone help me find good discounts?
Here’s a list of shows she’d like to see:
Avenue Q - (has a lotto - 26.50 for front row)
Gypsy (has a non-student rush - 26.50.) get there near when the box office opens to get really nice side orchestra (some slightly partial view orchestra seats.) if you can get them to give you the box seats (request them) those are amazing.
Jersey Boys
Phantom (gag me)
Rent (gag me again, I fear I’ll just sing along to the entire show) - has a lotto, 20.00
Spamalot(I might still make one last request to see In The Heights! Not sure if she’d love it as much as I do.)
Anyone have a hookup I could use? My Broadway contacts are currently dry but I can’t complain; I rarely ever pay for tickets.
so i added comments of the ways i know to get cheap tickets for the show in bold above.
if you aren’t feeling the rush / lotto - i would check http://www.broadwaybox.com/ and http://www.playbill.com/club/offers/ for discounts.
(the rent / avenue q lotteries are fairly winnable. but ever since in the heights won the tony it’s been selling out and lotto is impossible.) enjoy!
