Broadway on My Bucket List
By Ed. Filed in Arts, Life, Travel |
When I lived in the Washington DC area I would go to theatrical shows, dinner theaters and concerts all throughout the year. It was not hard to get good seats for any of the shows, and it was exciting to be in venues like the Kennedy Center, the National Theatre, and Arena Stage.
One place I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting to see a show is Broadway. Although I have been to New York City many times, it was always on business that consumed my time there, with little time for anything personal, like taking in Broadway shows.
Broadway has a special appeal for anyone who is a serious fan of theatre. I would love to see the Noel Coward’s play, “Blythe Spirit” starring Angela Lansbury, with Rupert Everett, Christine Ebersole, and Jayne Atkinson. For one thing, I’m a fan of Noel Coward and for another, I’ve been a fan of Angela Lansbury for over 20 years. I miss her “Murder, She Wrote” shows. They were great little murder mysteries, neatly solved in under an hour for many years.
I’m not sure how to go about getting Broadway tickets. I am worried that if I plan a short trip to New York that the Broadway shows will be sold out and I will miss the chance to see one of the plays.
I can’t afford to pay top dollar for show tickets, so I’m fine with going on a slow night. It doesn’t have to be a weekend for me to go – as long as I can get discount tickets and know that I have seats before I book my airline ticket and commit to the date.
