Broadway for Beginners is the practical guide for anyone seeing live theatre in New York City for the first time (or the first time in a while) and wanting it to feel easy, not stressful.
This book walks you through the decisions that matter most: what to see, how to buy tickets without getting scammed, where to sit, and how to avoid common tourist mistakes that can cost you time and money.
Inside you'll learn:
- How to buy from the official box office (and avoid excessive fees)
- How to find legitimate discounts and promotions
- Seat-picking strategies to get the best value for your budget
- When to arrive, what door hold means if you're late, and how some shows actually start before the stated curtain time
- The intermission restroom strategy (because 15 minutes goes fast)
- Simple etiquette rules that keep you (and everyone around you) from having a bad experience
- Stage door basics: what to expect, how to be respectful, and how autographs usually work
Written by Broadway insider Brian Guy.
