Danoodle seeing Broadway, at half-price


Okay, this is the "See Broadway shows" trip. Forget politics. See as many shows as possible.

Of the 18 shows I've seen, most have been half-price via the TKTS booth behind the Marriott Hotel on Broadway. As of now, there are still lots of available tickets for everything except "South Pacific."

I dragged a visiting friend to "Top Girls" last night - one of the WORST shows ever! Even my half-price ticket, $55, was too much to spend for this stinker. Theatre was only half-full. our seatmates left during the 1st intermission (yes, there were 2, count 'em, 2! intermissions). We bravely endured the endless feminist claptrap, thinking "it might get better." NOT.

Favs so far are "Gypsy" (Patti Lupone), and "Xanadu" (Cheyenne Jackson, best eye-candy on Broadway).
