Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the Lone Star State. That's right. I am talking about the great state of Texas. Yesterday afternoon I received a call from one of our regular travel agents who's client was planning a trip to New York for the Christmas holidays. Care to guess what they wanted to see? Well one has been playing for over two decades and the other has been a New York institution since 1954. Give up?

Why it's none other than The Phantom of the Opera and George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. Now while I've seen Phantom I have never seen the Nutcracker. Oh well. I'm sure it is still be around for another fifty-nine years or more. So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to find out when they wanted to go and where they wanted to sit. Now normally there are very few shows that play on Christmas Day. However Phantom was playing so I ended up finding them two very nice seats in the Center Rear Mezzanine for the 8pm performance.

Now I know what you are thinking. Isn't the Rear Mezzanine the nosebleed section? Not in this theatre. As a matter of fact the Rear Mezzanine and the Balcony in almost every Broadway theatre is still a great view. Who knew? One show down. One to go. For The Nutcracker I also suggested the upper level as you still have a great view. Luckily they agreed with me too. So there you have it folks. Two great shows and great seats to boot. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Beantown. That's right. I am talking about Boston, Massachusetts. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from a travel agent who's client was coming to New York for the Thanksgiving holidays and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were here. Now as it turns out he had already purchased tickets for his group for the same weekend and now they all wanted to see another show. The only difference is not everybody wanted to see the same thing. Makes sense to me. After all one person's favorite is not always someone else's. So anyway after finding out what everyone wanted to see I needed to find out where they all wanted to sit and more importantly what they wanted to spend. Their choices of shows were A Night With Janis Joplin, Motown, and 700 Sundays with Billy Crystal. Three great choices but all very different. When all was said an done I was able to get them Premium seats for all three shows and for less than even I was expecting. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Wicked To Celebrate Ten Years On The Great White Way

Has it really been ten years since Wicked opened on Broadway? My how time flies. Now while I enjoyed the show when it first opened I never expected to still be talking about it all these years later. I guess the critics didn't either because if you recall the reviews were very mixed. Oh well. The critics have been known to be wrong before. The show which will celebrate it's tenth year on the Great White Way tomorrow remains one of Broadway's most popular shows. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if ten years from now Wicked will be celebrating it's twentieth anniversary. It's that good. Now for those of you out there who still haven't seen it or for those of you Wicked fans who want to see it again you have come to the right place. In fact not only do we sell tickets to the Broadway production but also London and every city in between. Who knew? Get your tickets to see Wicked on Broadway or at a city near you. You will love it.

Customer Story

Yes I know. I know. It's been two weeks since my last customer story. What can I say? It's been a busy two weeks here at Applause. Which of course means that I have a lot of customer stories to share with you. Today's customer story comes all the way from the great state of Ohio. So anyway last week I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a last minute trip to New York and wanted to see two shows while they were here. How last minute you ask? They were coming to New York that week and within 48 hours. Their choices were Matilda and The Book of Mormon. Two great choices don't you think? Not only that but two of Broadway's hottest shows. Now you would think that getting tickets this close to the date might be difficult. Makes sense right? Well not when you call one of the friendly ticket experts at Applause it's not. That's right. Not only do we sell most tickets for both Broadway and Off-Broadway shows at "Insider Prices" but we also have access to hard to get tickets for the hottest shows as well.  Oh and did I mention that fact that they needed six tickets for both shows? When all was said and done I was able to find six tickets in the Orchestra for Matilda and six tickets in the Front Mezzanine for The Book of Mormon. Not only that but they were at a price that was lower than they were expecting. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Now on to the reviews.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Kansas. Hutchinson to be exact. To be honest I can't remember the last time I sold tickets to someone from there. Oh well. I guess I should be thankful that the phones are ringing at all in this economy. So anyway yesterday I got a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York next month and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were here. Their choices were A Night With Janis Joplin and Pippin which won four Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival of the Year. Now while I didn't see either show Pippin is very popular and while the Janis Joplin show just started previews last week it is already selling pretty well. After finding out when they would be here I asked the agent where they would prefer to sit and she told me that even though they have sat in the Orchestra before they prefer the Front Mezzanine. As do I. Anyway after a little research I found great seats in the Center Mezzanine for both shows. Not only that but I got them for a rate that was lower than they were expecting. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

The Holidys Are Just Around The Corner

Can you believe that we are only fifty-two days away from Thanksgiving and only seventy-nine days away from Christmas. It seems like only yesterday that I was at Coney Island celebrating the Memorial Day weekend and here we are with Halloween a little over three weeks away. My how time flies. Now for those if you that are planning a trip to New York for the holidays you are in luck. We offer tickets to all shows and events during that time. Want tickets to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular? No problem? How about tickets to the Nutcracker or A Christmas Story? You want them. We got them. Now don't forget about Broadway. As we speak there are over twenty-six shows on the Great White Way. The only question is which one will you see? Why not see them all. Just kidding. That would take too long. Not only that but you can see most of those shows at prices that can't be beat. Plus don't forget we are open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means we are always here to help with all your ticket needs. That's what we do. Until next time.

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from the Sunshine State. Clearwater to be exact. This past Friday I received a call from one of my regular travel agents who's client was coming into New York next month and wanted to see a show while they were here. Care to guess what show they wanted to see? No it wasn't The Book of Mormon and no it wasn't Kinky Boots or Matilda. Heck it wasn't even The Phantom of the Opera or Mamma Mia. No it was Tosca. Let me guess? You didn't know that we sold tickets to the Opera as well did you? Well we do. In fact we sell all events in New York City including the ballet, concerts, and all sporting events. Who knew?

So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I asked them when they wanted to go and more importantly where the wanted to sit and how much they wanted to spend. Opera tickets are not cheap if you want the best seats and they did. After a little research I found some very nice seats in the Center Orchestra for the bargain price of three hundred and sixty dollars. Now I know what you're thinking. That doesn't sound like much of a bargain. Trust me my friends. When it comes to a show like Tosca that is a good price. So there you have it folks. One of the world's most popular Operas and great seats to boot. Wait a minute not so fast. As it turns out they loved the seats so much that they talked two of their friends into joining them. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Woodbury, New York. This past Friday I received a call from one of our regular travel agents who had a group of seventeen people who wanted to see a show while they were here. Yes that's right. I said seventeen people. Their first and only choice was Motown The Musical. Great show by the way. In fact if I could see it again I would. Thankfully the last time I saw it the tickets were free. Just one of the perks of working in this industry. So anyway now that I knew what they wanted to see I needed to see if tickets were available. It is one of the hottest shows on Broadway after all. Luckily for them they wanted to go on a Tuesday night which has more availability. Now while I normally prefer the Front Mezzanine for most shows the Orchestra is actually the better view for this show. Even if you are off to the side. When all was said and done I was able to get all seventeen seats in two rows back to back. Not only that but she called back later today and ordered another ticket. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Customer Story

Today's customer story comes all the way from Swansea, Massachusetts. This past Monday I received a call from a travel agent who's client was planning a trip to New York for the Thanksgiving holidays and wanted to see a couple of shows while they were here. Their choices were Spider-Man:Turn Off The Dark and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Now while I saw Spider-Man when it first opened I have never seen the Christmas show. No worries. Not like it's going anywhere right? So anyway now that I know whet they wanted to see I needed to find out when they wanted to go and where they wanted to sit. Now even though it was a holiday weekend I knew I would not have any problem getting them good tickets. Spider-Man has been playing for almost three years and while Radio City is still a big seller it is one of those shows that you can still get good tickets for even last minute. Plus because they picked a non-peak performance I was able to get them very good Orchestra seats at a lower rate. Same thing for Spider-Man. Another satisfied customer. Will you be next?

Betrayal Starring Daniel Craig,Rachel Weisz and Rafe Spall To Begin Previews On Broadway Tonight

That's right theatre fans. One of this season's biggest hits is set to begin performances tonight at the Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. Yes that's right. I said hit. Not bad for a show that hasn't even had it's first preview. In fact the phones have been ringing off the hook ever since the show was first announced back in June. Now that doesn't mean you can't get tickets. Believe it or not but there are seats available for almost every performance.

You just may have to take out a mortgage on your house to get them. I'm kidding of course. There not that expensive. There not cheap either. Oh well. If you want to see the show than you have to cough up the bucks. Now for those of you that are not familiar with the show I have included a brief synopsis about Betrayal from the show's official website. Enjoy!

"Emma (Weisz) is married to Robert (Craig), a publisher, but she has long had an affair with Jerry (Spall), a literary agent and Robert's best friend; as, in a brilliant device, time is regained, so the full complexity of their relationships comes to light."

Sounds like something you want to see right? The show which is scheduled to open on October 27 will play thru January 5, 2014. Now if reviews are good I would think they would extend but you never know. I'm sure Mr. Craig has to leave to go film the latest James Bond movie. Get your tickets to see Betrayal at the Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. Until next time theatre fans.
