I am going to be in New York for 7 nights from June 29th to July 6th and i want to see as many shows as possible. Does anyone know if there are any shows that run on Monday nights? also does anyone have any suggestions of what i should see while im there? thanks soo much in advance.
A fair few off-Broadway shows have Monday night shows. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Chicago as having a Monday night show on Broadway. But there must be others.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
With Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday matinees, you should be able to see ten shows, depending on when your plane comes in and leaves. That's awesome. I was there for five days in January and we saw four shows, and I thought that was great. I recommend shows you haven't seen before. We saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Spelling Bee, Light in the Piazza, and Wicked, and they were all fabulous. I also wanted to see Avenue Q, Spamalot, Jersey Boys, and the Color Purple, but we didn't stay long enough. By June, though, you will probably have a lot of other choices. Have you ever been before? I want to go back soon.
If this is your first trip to Broadway you can't miss with- Hairspray, The Producers, RENT, Spamalot, Avenue Q, Wicked, Light in the Piazza, or, Spelling Bee. If it were me I'd see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels : ) Definetly see something you've never seen before and the TKTS booth is a great place for deals, especailly if you'd like to decide last minute what you want to see.
Recently, I compiled a list of the curtain times for the musicals for a friend- I updated it for the time period that you'll be in town and added plays that are selling tickets through your time in town. Granted, this includes tentative dates for shows that are opening this spring.
