The Back Stage Guide Broadway (Backstage Books)

3.5/5 ( ratings)

Geared toward tourists traveling to New York, but appropriate for residents as well, this book is an easy-to-use, nuts-and-bolts guide to enjoying theater in New York City. Lively and far more in-depth than a general tour book, it tells travelers how to pick a show, how to buy tickets, the best times to see shows, how to get tickets for shows that are sold out, how to get refunds in the event a trip is canceled, how to spot scalpers, and what to do if the show closes before a show date. Entire sections are devoted to discount tickets, how to use the subway and stay safe in New York City, where to eat, where to stay, and much more.

• A brief history of theater in New York

• A foldout map of the theater district

• A glossary of theater terminology

• Seating charts for all the Broadway theaters

• How to meet your favorite Broadway star

• Where to find discount tickets

• Best times of year to see theater in NYC
