The Best Way to See Broadway Shows

Are you new to the world of Broadway shows? Then you need to continue reading.

Currently there are tons of Broadway plays and shows going on as you read this article. If you’re planning on visiting New York or have just never seen a Broadway show, you need to go see a performance. Here are some ways to ensure your Broadway experience is the best it can be.

Research the Shows

Before you jump into some random theater, you should do a little research. Hit the Internet and do a search on Broadway plays; find out what’s performing, and then read up on what the plot is of these shows. Find out who the stars of the show are. It’s best to find one that fits your taste in movies. For example, if you like comedies, try to find a comedy. If you like drama, you should set your sites on dramatic performances. Typically there’s always an assortment of shows for you to choose.

Bring the Whole Family/Your Friends

You can go to the theater alone, but I recommend going with the family or some friends (preferably those family members or friends who enjoy the theater OR are open to experiencing it for the first time). A great gift you can give to your family and friends is to buy Broadway show tickets to the performance of their choice. If you have a friend who’s birthday is approaching, Broadway tickets are a great present (and a great way to maybe get yourself an invite to the new hot show).

Buy Early

Broadway performances have become very popular and hence its tickets are always in great demand. So, if you really, really, really want to see a Broadway show, buy early. There are many places you can get Broadway tickets. Ticket counters, ticket agencies, brokers, the Internet, the paper, etc are some options for you. In any regard, you don’t want to wait until the last minute to buy your tickets, especially if you’re bringing friends or family.

FYI: Broadway is an actual street in New York. The theater district stretches from West 41st Street, and all the way up to West 53rd Street's.
