Broadway Savings: 22 Shows Participate in 2-for-1 Tickets Sale, September 7–20

If you’re in a New York state of mind, think Broadway! With orchestra prices climbing as high as Mount Everest — $147 and up — New York theatergoers and visitors to the city always look forward to the semi-annual discount promotion for the majority of Broadway shows.

Of course, hot, hot shows like Hamilton and The Book of Mormon don’t have to participate. They’re, well, hot, hot! But tickets are available in NYC & Company’s fourth Broadway Week for 2(tickets) – for (the price of one)1ticket promotion, September 7–20.

There are 22 shows participating – including such still hot, hot shows as mega blockbusters Wicked, Jersey Boys, and those long-run champs Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and Chicago. More recent hits, such as the Carole King bio-musical Beautiful, Kinky Boots, the lavish revival of The King and I, and audience favorite Finding Neverland— even 2015 Tony Award winners for Best Play and Musical: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Fun Home are on the list.

Purchase at www.nycgo.com/broadwayweek. However, if you’re in the city, shop theater box offices where steep service fees don’t apply.

“The only thing better than seeing a Broadway show is the opportunity for two people to see a Broadway show for the price of one!” says Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin. “The NYC & Company promotion and their Restaurant Week is a much-anticipated event for savvy theater fans. There’s something for everyone – plays and musicals, including acclaimed shows, long-running hits with many of them Tony-winners.”

This is a sensational opportunity to see shows for the first time at a bargain price or to revisit your favorite shows. Among choice shows available are hot dramas, rolling-on-the-floor family comedies and musicals, long-running record-breakers – including hits from the 2014-2015 theater season.

Tickets are subject to availability and blackout dates may apply. This is an incredibly popular promotion and allotted tickets go fast.

“This is one of the best incentives for locals and tourist to experience the energy and excitement of Broadway,” said NYC & Company president and CEO Fred Dixon. “With 10 new shows participating, there’s even more reason to take advantage of this savings opportunity.”

NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Commissioner Cynthia López says, “We’re proud to partner with NYC & Company to promote Broadway Week so more New Yorkers and visitors can experience live theater. “The energy found on Broadway can’t be beat!”
