Saturday, August 18th is the last chance to see Ghost The Musical. As a special thank you to fans, producers announced today that all 24 lottery tickets located in the first and second rows of the Orchestra will be complimentary for the final performance on Broadway.

There comes a moment late in Act Two when Tevye, the beleaguered dairyman at the center of Fiddler on the Roof, remembers his daughters in childhood and laments the loss of his beloved "Chavaleh" to marriage to a gentile, which completely encapsulates the joy and the sadness that permeates this classic work of the musical theater.

"They," of course, are the fans, the audiences, the people for whom theater is presented every night.
