Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of North Carolina. Greensboro to be exact. This past week I received a call from a very nice lady who came to us based on a recommendation from her travel agent. We love it when that happens. So anyway she told me that she and her husband were planning a trip to New York in November and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were here. Their choices? Why none other than two of Broadway's hottest new shows. I am of course talking about Kinky Boots and Motown The Musical. Two great choices don't you think? So now that I knew what she wanted to see I needed to find out exactly when they would be here and more importantly where they wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend.

Now because they were only here for a few days they only had a limited amount of time to see both shows. Luckily for them I was able to find them some excellent seats in the Front Mezzanine for both shows. Which by the way is the best view in both of those theatres. Now while the tickets for Kinky Boots were a little more than they were expecting the decided to go for it as this trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for them so why waste it. So there you have it folks. Not so fast. Not only did they want tickets to two of Broadway's most popular shows but they also needed car service to and from the airport. Bet you didn't know that we offered that did you? Well we do. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of New York. Not New York City mind you but Woodbury. Finally a city that I actually know. This past Friday I got a call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was coming into the big city in a few weeks and wanted tickets to see a show. Now even though this particular client comes to New York quite often there was one show that they were dying to see.

Care to guess which one? Why it's none other than Kinky Boots, the 2013 Tony Award winner for Best Musical of the Year. Now while I have personally never seen it I have heard nothing but great things about it. I guess it's why it won all those awards. So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they would be here and how many tickets they needed. Well as it turns out they needed a total of twenty-nine tickets. Not to mention they all wanted to sit together in the same section if possible. Nothing too difficult right?

Luckily for them they were going on a Tuesday night which is one of the least popular nights of the week even for a Tony Award winning show like Kinky Boots. When all was said and done I was able to get them seats in the Center Mezzanine. Plus because it was a group I was able to get it for them for a lower rate. But wait. There's more. Not only were they thrilled with the seats but the travel agent called me back this afternoon and ordered two more tickets. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Illinois. What makes it so great you ask? Well for starters I was born in Illinois. Isn't that enough? I think so. Plus they were calling from Aurora which as we all know is the home of Wayne's World. You remember Wayne's World don't you? "It's Wayne's World. Wayne's World. Party Time. Excellent." Hard to believe that movie came out twenty-one years ago. Man do I feel old. But enough about me.

Two days ago I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York in October and wanted to see a few shows while they were here. I take that back. They wanted to see four shows. Their choices were Matilda The Musical, Pippin, Rock of Ages and Betrayal starring Daniel Craig aka James Bond. Four good choices don't you think? So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they wanted to go and more importantly how much they wanted to spend.

Now because Rock of Ages has been playing for almost five years I figured I would have no problem getting them seats. Not only that but at a lower rate. When all was said and done I was able to get them excellent seats in the Center Orchestra and at a price that was lower than they were expecting. One show down. Three to go. Now for both Matilda and Pippin I suggested they seat in the Front Mezzanine as you get a much better overall view as both shows have a lot of visual stuff going on not too mention big production numbers and extravagant sets and costumes.

Thankfully they took my advice and I was once again able to get very nice seats in the center section. Three shows down. One to go. Last but not least is Betrayal. Now while the show has yet to open it is already one of this season's hottest tickets. Luckily I was able to find them some seats in the Rear Mezzanine for the date they wanted. Rear Mezzanine you say? Isn't that a mile away? Not in this theatre. In fact the Rear Mezzanine in almost all of the Broadway theatres are still a great view. Who knew? So there you have it folks. Four great shows with great seats to boot. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's story comes all the way from the great state of Texas. Lubbock to be exact. Late yesterday afternoon I received a call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was planning a trip to New York in November and wanted to see two shows while they were here. Nothing like planning ahead right? I wish all of our clients were like that. So anyway after finding out when they would be here I asked them what they wanted to see. Their choices were Pippin and Kinky Boots. Two great shows and recent Tony winners as well. Now because they needed nine tickets for each show they were willing to split up to get better seats. As it turns out for Pippin I didn't need to separate them at all as I was able to get them excellent seats in the center Front Mezzanine. One show down. One to go. Now in order to get the best seats for Kinky Boots I did have to split them up. However I was able to get them in the same row and for a rate that was better than they were expecting. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of....wait a minute. Not so fast. This customer story is not from a state at all but a country. Care to guess which one? Well I'll give you a clue. Well they are well known for their beer and music. No it's not Germany. It's Ireland. So anyway this past Tuesday afternoon a very nice young couple came up to our office because they had the New York Pass which besides giving them discounts for over a hundred attractions in New York City also includes discount tickets for all shows and events in New York as well. Who knew? So after finding out how long they would be here I asked them what they wanted to see. Their choices were Wicked, Rock of Ages, and Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Which I have all seen by the way. I take that back. I saw some of Spider-Man. I didn't care for it. Now as I always do with that show I ask our customers if they are fans of the movie or comic book as it is a perfect show of you are. They weren't. Therefore I suggested Once as not only is it a great show but being that they were from Ireland I knew they would enjoy it. Thankfully they agreed with me. Plus like their tickets for Rock of Ages I was able to get them great seats for an "Insider Price". Now while Wicked is still one of Broadway's most popular shows I was able to find them side Mezzanine seats which is still a great view for a lesser rate as well. So there you have it folks. Three great shows at some amazing prices to boot. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

See Broadway's Tony Winning Musical Once For Less This Fall

Still haven't seen the 2012 Tony Award winner for Best Musical of the Year? Well what are you waiting for people? It's only one of Broadway's most popular shows after all. Once, which won eight Tony Awards including Broadway's top prize is now available at prices that can't be beat. Now to be honest when the show was first announced I really didn't know too much about it except that was of course based on the 2007 film that won the Academy Award for Song of the Year (Falling Slowly). Now here we are over eight years later and Once continues to delight audiences of all ages at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway eight times a week. Now while I never got around to seeing the movie I did get to see the show. I loved it. Being a composer and playwright myself it is was so refreshing to see a Broadway musical that was more about the story and relationships as opposed to a bunch of special effects and big sets. Yes Spider-Man I am talking about you. But enough about what I like or don't like. You came here to see how you can tickets to see this award winning musical for less right? Right. From now thru October 9 you can get tickets to Once for prices that can't be beat. Be advised that while this "Insider Price" is good thru then it is always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Once on Broadway at the Jacobs Theatre. You will love it.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Virginia. This past Friday I received a call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was planning a trip to New York for the end of the month and wanted to see if they could get tickets for two shows while they were here. Their choices were Motown and The Trip To Bountiful. Two good choices I might add. Now to be honest when she told me that she wanted to see Motown on a holiday weekend I was worried that getting tickets would be difficult. Luckily I was able to find some great seats in the Center Mid Mezzanine which while a little further back is still a great view as it is not a very big theatre. One show down. One to go. Because The Trip To Bountiful is a play not a musical I knew that not only would I be able to get great seats but a little less than our normal retail rate. Well she loved that. In fact not only was it less than she was expecting but the seats were better than she had seen on another site. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Gadsen, Alabama. Early Monday morning I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a last minute trip to New York for later this week and wanted to see two shows while they were here. Their choices were Annie and Mamma Mia. Two great choices but two very different shows. So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they wanted to go and of course how much they wanted to spend. Luckily for them because Mamma Mia is been playing for almost twelve years I knew I would have no problem getting them excellent seats and at an "Insider Rate". I was right. In fact I was able to get them the same type of seats and rates for Annie as well. Well she loved that. Plus I was able to leave both sets of tickets at the theatre for them to pick up before the show and I also found them a couple of great restaurants to eat at prior to the show. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

New Musical If/Then To Open On Broadway Next Spring

Now to be honest I don't know too much about this show. I take that back. I do know that it is a new musical starring Tony winners Idina Menzel (Wicked, Rent) and La Chanze (The Color Purple) and it is written by the Tony winning team behind Next To Normal. Well what do you know? I guess I knew more about the show than I thought.

The show which is being directed by Tony nominee Michael Grief is set to begin previews at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on March 4. 2014 with opening night scheduled for March 27. Now for those of you who would like more information about If/Then here is a brief synopsis about it from the show's official website. Enjoy!

On the verge of turning 40, Elizabeth moves back to New York City, the ultimate city of possibility, intent on a fresh start – new home, new friends, and hopes for a resurgent career. But even in her carefully planned new life, the smallest decision or most random occurrence will impact her world in ways she never dreamt possible. Set against the ever-shifting landscape of modern day Manhattan, If/Then is a romantic and original new musical about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout.

Sounds like a great night in the theatre don't you think? By the way for those of you who are looking to get tickets to see the show you are in luck. Not only do we sell tickets to If/Then but every show both On and Off Broadway. Plus we sell most of those shows at rates that can't be beat. Get your tickets to see If/Then at the Richard Rodgers Theatre this Spring on Broadway. I can't wait! Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Virginia. Dundas to be exact. Yesterday afternoon I received a call from a previous customer of mine who was planning a trip to New York later this month with her husband and wanted to see a few shows while they were here. Her choices were recent Tony winners Pippin and Kinky Boots, and Cuff Me: Fifty Shades of Grey Musical Parody. Care to guess what that last one is about? No it's not a Disney movie turned Broadway musical.

For those of you who don't know Cuff Me is a musical spoof about the best selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey. So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they would be here and of course where they wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend. Now since Cuff Me was an Off-Broadway show she was hoping that it would be less than the other two shows. It was. In fact I was able to get her excellent seats for an "Insider Rate". One show down. Two to go.

Now because both Pippin and Kinky Boots are two of Broadway's most popular shows I knew that getting good seats would be a little more difficult than most. Surprisingly it wasn't as difficult as I thought since they had picked a weekday performance as opposed to a weekend. In the end I was able to get them great seats for both shows in the Center Front Mezzanine for a rate that was even lower than I was expecting. In fact they saved so much that they called back later that day and ordered more tickets from my colleague Claudia. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Tony And Oscar Winner Denzel Washington To Return To Broadway Next Spring In A New Revival Of A Raisin In The Sun

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't A Raisin In The Sun just on Broadway? Yes I know it was over nine years ago. Trust me. I'm not complaining. Any chance to see my favorite actor on stage is fine by me. Now while I did not get the chance to see Mr. Washington is his Tony winning performance three years ago in Fences I did see him in Julius Caesar back in 2005. He did not disappoint.

Hopefully this time around I will be able to get my hands on a ticket. We shall see. Joining him in the show are Tony winners Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls, Caroline or Change) and Diahann Carroll who is making her return to the Broadway stage for the first time in over thirty years. Performances for the show are set to begin at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on March 8 with opening night set for April 3. Now for those of you that are not familiar with the play here is a brief description about A Raisin In The Sun from the show's official website. Enjoy!

Set on Chicago's South Side, A Raisin in the Sun revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee (Washington), his wife Ruth (Okonedo), his sister Beneatha (Rose), his son Travis and matriarch Lena, called Mama (Carroll). When her deceased husband's money comes through, Mama dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama."

Now I don't know about you but March 8 cannot come soon enough. By the way for those of you who are looking to get tickets to A Raisin In The Sun you have come to the right place. In fact not only do we sell tickets to this show but every show both On and Off-Broadway. Who knew? Get your tickets to see A Raisin in the Sun at the Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. Expect this show to be a big contender at next years Tony Awards. Until next time theatre fans.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Canada. Now that's weird. I could have sworn I just wrote a customer story last week about someone from the Great White North. What can I say? Canadians love New York theatre. Except this particular client didn't want to see a big Broadway musical. In fact they weren't even coming to New York City. They were heading to Beantown. That's right. I am talking about Boston. Yes believe it or not but we do sell other cities besides New York. So anyway this past Friday I received a call from a travel agent who's client wanted to see both a baseball and a football game during their visit to Massachusetts capitol. Now it doesn't take a genius to figure out what teams they were wanting to see. That's right sports fans. The Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. Because they were only going to be there for a couple of days they would have to see one game on Saturday evening and the other on Sunday afternoon. Which is what they did. When all was said and done I was able to get them great seats for both games and because it was early on in the season they weren't as expensive. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

See Broadway's Jersey Boys For Less With Applause Theatre Service

Let me guess. You still haven't seen the 2006 Tony Award winner for Best Musical of the Year. I mean it's only been playing on Broadway for almost eight years. Not like you couldn't have seen it during your last trip to the Big Apple. O.K. so maybe I'm giving you too hard a time. After all there have been hundreds of shows that have opened on the Great White Way since Jersey Boys first opened in December 2005. Now I'll be honest that when the show first opened I wasn't sure if I wanted to see it. Not that I'm sure it wasn't' good. After all it did get rave reviews and won the Tony Award. I guess it just had so much hype that I'm sure I would be disappointed. Well cut to two years later and I finally got around to seeing it. Well guess what? I actually liked it. I take that back. I loved it. Now for those of you out there who still haven't seen it or well for those of you who are thinking of seeing it again you are in luck. Not only do we sell this show but every show on Broadway. Plus if you call now you can see this award winning musical at prices that are lower than they've ever been. Be advised that while this "Insider Price" is good thru December 18 it is only for select dates and as always subject to availability. Get your tickets to see Jersey Boys on Broadway at the August Wilson Theatre. You will love it. Until next time theatre fans.
