I'm going to NYC for the first time with a friend in two weeks. We considered going to see something on Broadway but holy shit it's expensive. I think we'll save the $200 a ticket and find a drag bar in Brooklyn and tip the fuck out of the Queens. Any recommendations on Drag Bars in Brooklyn/Manhattan?

idk this helps, but when I visited NY my friends and I opted to do the Broadway Roulette and it's $49-59 a ticket. We ended up seeing Carousel before it closed and it was beautiful!

Oooh thank you!

[caitiecait]

How much were the fees on top of that?
My partner and I are seeing Chicago in November but would love to see something else

i'm legit so bummed about missing little shop of horrors. it opens the day i get to NYC but i have tickets booked up for other shows for all the days im there :( still excited for this trip though. my friend and i splurged and are seeing 5 shows in 3 days. lol. i only get to go once a year so i have to fit in everything that i can.

[scriptedending]

omg, no!!! that's a heartbreaker. what all do you have lined up for your trip?

I hear you on the five shows in three days thing, I do the same kind of schedule whenever I can get to NYC.

beetlejuice, hadestown, oklahoma, sea wall/a life, and moulin rouge! i've been wanting to see groff in a show for so long and i think i just have bad luck of just missing out, he literally left hamilton a week before i saw it a few years ago ;__;

this is the first time im doing 5 shows in 3 days lol, its gonna be overwhelming but im so excited!

[scriptedending]

your taste!!! I haven't gotten the chance seen Beetlejuice or Moulin Rouge yet, but the other three were absolutely incredible. you're gonna have a great trip!

Is the National Theater Live broadcast only showing in cinemas in the UK? :'(

[scriptedending]

That's all I'm seeing! Idk why, because usually NT Live stuff gets shown here, too. I could see not showing it if there was a run coming up in the states, but the New York run wrapped ages ago.

[wellalr1ght]

Idgi either, there's been plenty of other productions I've seen from NT Live and this is something I've been so jealous that other people have got to see since PWB is obviously a genius <3

You might be able to check your theater's website that does other events like this. Mine wasn't listed on the NT's site but it showed up for the theater.

speechless re: someone taking a FLASH photo during a performance ..and during a nude scene? this isn't a fucking rock concert, asshole/pervert! have some respect. reassess your life choices.

that's awesome to hear they're broadcasting fleabag to other theaters. i hope i'm able to see it! :)
