Where to Start Your Broadway Adventure
First things first: Broadway.com is your new BFF. This website is like the ultimate backstage pass to the world of Broadway.

QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
Finding Your Perfect Show
Choosing a show can be overwhelming, I get it. You've got classics like The Lion King and Wicked, and then there are newer shows like Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen (if you can even get tickets to those). Don't stress! Think about what kind of show you want to see: a musical, a play, a comedy, or a drama. Once you've narrowed it down, check out show descriptions and reviews to see if it aligns with your interests. And remember, there's no shame in seeing a show just because you like the music!
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.

Getting Your Hands on Those Tickets
Now comes the fun part (or the stressful part, depending on your luck). There are a few ways to score tickets:
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
- Full Price: This is the straightforward option. You buy tickets directly from the theater or through a ticket reseller. It's generally more expensive, but you get to pick your seats.
- Discount Tickets: If you're on a budget, there are a few options. TKTS is a famous discount booth in Times Square where you can buy same-day tickets at a reduced price. There are also online platforms like TodayTix and Telecharge that offer discounts.
- Lotteries and Rush: Some shows offer lotteries and rush tickets. This means you can enter a lottery for a chance to win tickets at a discounted price, or you can line up for a limited number of tickets sold at the box office on the day of the show.
Tips for a Memorable Broadway Experience
- Dress comfortably: You'll be sitting for a couple of hours, so wear something you can relax in.
- Arrive early: This gives you time to grab a drink, use the restroom, and find your seat.
- Turn off your phone: There's nothing more annoying than someone's phone going off during a show.
- Be open-minded: You might be surprised by what you love.
