Broadway

     Right now a bunch of shows are playing on Broadway. There is Chicago, Wicked, Jersey Boys, Memphis, Addams Family, and much more. In order to buy a ticket to attend one of these shows you can simply just go to Broadway.com and look at the prices and even buy one on the spot. Not only can you buy a ticket, but you can also arrange to buy a hotel package as well. There is also a stand in New York City where they sell discounted Broadway tickets called TKTS. The theaters release tickets for sale by TKTS throughout the day, but one problem is that you can only buy tickets the day of the show. Getting tickets for a show should never be too hard if it is planned well in advance, but it can sometimes get a little pricey. A Broadway ticket without a discount is usually from $100 to $500 without a discount.
     Right now the hottest show seems to be Wicked. This show is about the Wizard of Oz's wicked witch of the west and Glinda the good before Dorothy ever showed up. The story follows the Wicked witch of the west through her life and all through college and tells us how she got the name "wicked". The show reveals how there is always two sides to every story.
      The director of this Broadway show is a man named Joe Mantello who has gotten nothing but positive reviews about his play. Wicked has recently gone double platinum as well, meaning that the Broadway cast recording has sold over two million copies. 
     I have not seen any Broadway shows ever before, but that does not mean that i would not go. I would love to see a Broadway show, especially Chicago. Wicked sounds very interesting as well, i think it would be neat to see the other side of the story according to the wicked witch of the west's point of view.
