Hit three plays - Har, Next to Normal, and Billy Elliott on my recent trip. My favorite was the lesser known "Next to Normal". I loved the music in Next to Normal, and thought the acting fantastic. I also like that it is totally original. I thought parts of Billy Elliott were campy/over the top, but I guess some people... more

Hey everyone. I wanted to write a quick review about my first ever Broadway Musical in NYC at the Gershwin Theatre, and my thoughts about the whole experience. Firstly, I had booked and reserved the musical tickets in advance through ticket master for myself and a friend, who lives in NYC. However, you can get tickets last minute at the... more

We were lucky enough to be in NYC when Broadway on Broadway was on. It's a free outdoor concert in Times Square showcasing different Broadway musicals, with the cast from different shows performing songs. It was pretty busy but we still managed to get a good spot and heard songs from musicals like Shrek, In the Heights, Chicago etc etc.... more

Our families first time to see a show on Broadway. We were not sure what to expect. We had a great time. The show had something for everyone, our youngest is 11 our oldest 21. We highly recommend seeing a show. more

Just returned from a 5-show trip to NYC. This trip was to see shows while tickets were so heavily discounted over the 4th of July weekend as well as the hotel rates. Had ordered all tickets on-line so was able to have some pick of where I wanted to sit. Very, very important to me. All tickets were waiting at... more

A MUST SEE! Closing June 28th, 2009. Out-of-towner's, if you truly want to see and learn what Broadway is meant to be, see this play! Broadway is not about the rah-rah; the multi-million dollar musical extravaganzas (not to lovers of theatre). Broadway is about ACTING! It's about PASSION, making you FEEL! If you want to leave different (ENHANCED) than when... more

I had low expectations as I have never been to a Broadway show. We were right at the top in the balcony. Cheap tickets and still a good view but as someone else said for the ending to be more exciting, you should sit in the mezzanine. The actors, Mary and the kids were excellent. Overall a great show and... more

My daughter and I decided to go see "Reasons To Be Pretty" on Broadway. It was her first Broadway Show and the pamphlet they were handing out said "A real love story" "Wonderfully acted with the freshest Illuminating dialogure anywhere" and "best new Broadway play of the season". We sat thru the first act only. It was about a couple... more

I had low expecations for this, but we loved it. The show is spectacular. There are new songs from the film and they are outstanding. Scarlett Strallen as Mary was BRILLIANT! Evne thought he show is spectactular, Scarlett made the role her own and stood out from the spectacle. She was amazing. We had front row mezzanine seats, and for... more
