Theatregoers rejoice as Season of Savings returns to NYC

Written by Carol Cain on 25 January 2012

Oh! It’s an exciting time in NYC for theatre lovers! Broadway’s Season of Savings booklet is out and is offering theatre goers up to $50 off ticket prices! I’m talking about REAL Broadway shows, right on the Great White Way people, with some really great off-Broadway performances too, such as Freckleface: The Musical (we loved it) and Stomp!,(which I’ve seen more than 7 times – at least).

Ok, I know. I sound a tad too excited, but I do love when the booklet comes out and I get to enjoy all the magnificent shows The Big Apple has to offer and save at the same time.

What kind of shows you’re wondering? Well, smash hits like Bette Midler’s Priscilla Queen of The Dessert with tickets starting at $43.oo, or classics like Phantom of The Opera with tickets starting at $26.50, and Rock of Ages with tickets starting at $46.50.

So, if you have a little list of shows you’d like to see, either for the first time or again, this is the time to get your tickets. If you happen to be visiting New York City, then you really don’t want to miss it.

Season of Savings was created in response to the devastating effect that September 11th had on sales at Broadway shows and at businesses in and around the Times Square theatre district.

Now in its 10th year, Season of Savings is the unofficial “New York Theatregoer’s Guide to Times Square.” It includes a special edition Playbill, published twice per year, that features discount coupons to numerous Broadway and Off-Broadway shows as well as restaurants, hotels and NYC attractions.
