NYC~Broadway shows and half price tickets

[cruisnfamily]

Help me help my mom. She is traveling to NYC at the end of April and would like to see a broadway show while there. She's never seen one. I've been searching(without any luck) for a list of shows currently on broadway. Is there somewhere to go for a comprehensive list?

Also, I remember from my youth some sort of booth in times square where you could buy discount tickets the day of the show...seems like it was only certain days of the week and you didn't have much choice of show. Can somebody give me all the nitty gritty details on this?

I need to give her step-by-step easy instructions as she's never been to the city before and won't know the area or what to do.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Go to www.playbill.com you can find a list of shows there. If you sign up for the free membership there, you can get information on discount tickets.

The halfprice ticket booth is called TKTS. It's on Broadway and 7th at 48th or 49th. The lines are long, but they move fast. Cash only.

I usually go to NY twice a year. I always get my tickets at the TKTS booth. In the past two years I have seen Beauty and The Beast, Mama Mia, Phantom of the Opera, and Chicago. I have seen B&TB being offered each time I go. The harder tickets to get like Producers and Lion King won't be available at the TKTS booth.
Have your mom read reviews of a few plays and have a list of a few she would want to see. That way she won't be dissapointed if she wants to see a show and it isn't offered that day. Peggie
