  • Plan ahead: Top shows sell out quickly, especially during awards season.
  • Travel midweek: Tuesday to Thursday performances often have better availability.
  • Check official sources: Always buy from verified links to avoid inflated ticket prices.
  • Allow time pre-show: Arrive at least 30 minutes early to enjoy the ambiance and avoid missing the opening number.
  • Stay nearby: Choose a hotel in Midtown Manhattan to make theatre-going easy and walkable.
