This is such a great heads-up for Broadway show beginners!

[blackdateline]

Thanks!!! Going to see Sunset Blvd, it’s my first show and this video helps so much

[researchable]

I wore a button-down shirt, dark denim and kitten heels and I thought I was going to be under dressed. Surprisingly some were very dressed up and others were in T-shirts jeans and tennis shoes. There is no dress code but I would say wear something chic and comfortable and keep in mind it is usually chilly in there so maybe layer.

Yum Yum's on 9th Avenue!!! Best and cheapest Thai food!!!

Why did you not mention TKTS? Is that venue no longer there?

Once you see those double guywire mastarm traffic lights, you know you're in NYC, and a Broadway show is imminent.

I have never been more uncomfortable then sitting in a Broadway show seat…. But I loved the show but just know if you are tall or wide at all it is painful!

Hi Katharine!! Not my first Broadway visit but I made a last minute reservation in order to see Once Upon a Mattress on Sept. 7. Now that I'm already going to be there- any recommendations for a matinee that same day?

What Broadway questions can I answer for you? ⬇️

I am in NY for less than a week with my 15yr old boy. Which show would you recommend?
