Find the cheap broadway tickes in the market today. Here we are talking about broadways musicals and show tickets with cheap prices.
Finding cheap theater tickets is easy if you have the knack and legs for it. One way to get around the steep prices of Telecharge and Ticketmaster is through promotional codes. Broadway websites like Playbill, Theater Mania, and Broadway Box publish discount codes you can use to purchase cheap tickets from online ticketing sites and even the theater box office.
As with all other discounts, finding cheap theater tickets requires patience. Get in line early to avail of rush tickets or ticket lotteries. “Chicago” and “The Color Purple” often sell rush tickets on the day of the show, while “Wicked” and “Avenue Q” hold lotteries where patrons can enter their names a few hours before opening.
When student and senior discounts are being offered, that’s the best time to bring the young and old with you to enjoy the theater. Kids’ Night on Broadway, usually held on February, offers free tickets to anyone between the ages of 6 and 18 when accompanied by a full-paying adult.
You can also try onstage seating and standing room only (SRO) admission for a fraction of the standard ticket price.

Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is a musical tale of two witches: the Good Witch of The North and the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch plays a major role in another award-winning Broadway musical – The Wizard of Oz.
