On Broadway, The Show Does Go On

2005_12_tkts.jpgIt's the Wednesday and for theater lovers, that means it's matinee day. Of course, this will mean added traffic coming into the city for the 2 pm shows. So for those theater goers, we wish you luck in the traffic. If you live close to the Theater District, or are willing to walk, many shows have special holiday schedules and the Daily News is reporting that there's a "glut" of tickets available at TKTS including seats that are better than you can normally get.

The Associated Press is reporting that several off-Broadway shows "have moved aggressively to get an audience" during the strike.

Did you have holiday plans for a Broadway show? If so, are you still going? And if you haven't seen that show you wanted to see, now might be the time!

    Are people seriously going to come in for a matinee? That's pretty insane. I'm all for going on with business as usual, but let's keep inessential stuff like going to the theater down to a minimum - especially for those who are planning on coming into town especially for that.

    I went to St. Ann's Warehouse for the Globe Theater last night. I was about a 45 minute walk there and back (at midnight), but it could have been worse. The show was sold out, but about 60-70% full, so alot of people skipped it.
