Synopsis
THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT EDITION
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 and musical theatre co-producer Brian Guy.
