"Whats it like on Broadway" Broadway Shows and Theatre District Tip by jo104

I am a huge fan of the theatre & have been able to see a lot of shows in London with my good friend Superhanny so when Rhoda announced she had managed to get us tickets to see a show on Broadway I was made up. Lets just say that tickets are not cheap especially when they add on booking fees & taxes so best use a discount ticket booth or better still www.playbill.com or the like.

We went to see In the Heights which is set in Manhattan with the George Washington Bridge in the background scenary. It is an electric dance & song routine that will have you jiving in your seat. The theatre is also fairly small so even the lowest price tickets in the gods will still give you a good view.

It has been playing in the Richard Rogers Theatre since February 2008 & I hope this original show will last a long time.

Broadway on the whole has some rather unusual plays I mean when I walked down the street I saw Shrek the broadway musical anything to make a buck I suppose. The vibe on Broadway is nothing like I've come across in London although to be honest I wouldn't swap London West End for Broadway anyday each has their own charm and place in this world.
