Broadway in NYC



The best place to see a good Broadway show is in New York City. NYC is well known for its Broadway shows. Every weekend there is always people there to watch shows. To buy tickets to see a Broadway show is simple. Tickets prices vary for the type of show you want to see. The prices usually run form 50 dollars to even 150 dollars. The show that is high rated is the one that is price high. The price of the tickets also vary on the where you want to seat. I think this makes sense because will would want to seat in a bad location to watch a play. If you wanted to see a show there are many ways in which one can purchase tickets, online, over the phone, and the box office.
The easiest way to purchase ticket is through the website. The two popular website people use is playbill.com and Theatermania.com. At these websites, you can get a very good discount on Broadway tickets. Nevertheless, people have been known, to buy tickets from an ad in the newspaper, or from people of the streets. They are other means of buying tickets; you can also be tickets over the phone. This is sometimes convenient when you do not have computer access. However, buying tickets this way does not gave you that good discount they will unusually sell it for a full price. Lastly, you can buy tickets at the box office. These tickets tend to came in special discounts. I think buying tickets online is more beneficial because there is always a special discount on them.
The most recent popular shows to watch is; The Lion King, The Addams Family, Come Fly Away, Mary Poppins, Spider-Man, Turn off the Dark, Everyday Rapture, A Behanding in Spokane, Next to Normal, Million Dollar Quartet, Blue Man Group, A Little Night Music, La Cage aux Folles, Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Billy Elliott, and many others. These are the most popular shows out right now. There is a very large variety of shows to watch. You can never get tired watching the different types of plays.
I have never been to a Broadway show in New York. If I had a chance to go see, a play the ones I would like to see is The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, and A Little Night Music and Chicago. I have heard so much about these shows. The one play I would love to see is The Lion King. This is the most popular show on Broadway, which has been running for years. This play is about a young lion cub name Simba. He is trick by his Uncle that he was the reason why his father was killed, he was force to run away from his home. Dashaun Young and Joshua Jackson play Simba. Nathaniel Stampley plays Mufasa and Derek Smith plays Scar. Tshidi Manye plays Rafiki. Music is by Sir Elton John and lyrics from Tom Rice. The director is Julie Taymor. the play won 2 Oscars and had another 22 wins and 22 nominations


The story is a very emotional one. The most amazing thing about this show, aside from the performances, is how they took an animated feature film, with not one single human character in it, and transformed and translated so brilliantly to the stage. The imagination, costumes, puppetry, and artistry are just amazing to watch. This is why the play has been on live for so many years. Another play I think will be cool to see is Chicago. I like how the show looks so energetic, sexy, and with that breathe taking effects. I really do not know much about the whole story but I have read about the overview of the show.
