Broadway Ticket Advice needed

I want to take Emma to see the Little Mermaid. My SIL her mom and my mom are going as well. I really want to go at 2 on a Sat or Sun but those seem IMPOSSIBLE to get. And the tickets are $$$ each. Any advice?

Oh and getting them day of really isnt an option. I like to get to the city tickets in hand since it's a hike in there for us.

ITA!!!!! (Little arm twisting there) Chat Icon Chat Icon But in all seriousness since the show is pretty new the weekends are going to stay pricey and booked for a while. If your not totally into a weekday look into the holidays, DH and I try for a lot of the Jewish holidays, the theatres tend to be quiet but the schools are still in session.

As a former kindergarten teacher... I'd take her out of school to see it on a Wednesday too. Chat Icon It's not like you're making it a habit or anything.

I would check into the place where you could get the tickets cheaper in NYC I think it is called TKTS or something like that.

Pretty sure you have to buy tickets day of there, and you have no guarantee what shows will be available.

I checked my corporate discount codes for you -- Sometimes, for the REALLY popular shows, you don't get a discount, but you get a code so you can purchase reserved tickets. Unfortunately, the Little Mermaid wasn't on the list.

I'd take her out of school for the day and have fun!

As a kid, my parents let me play hookie every Opening Day at Shea. My dad and I went together, just the two of us, every year. Those are memories I'll treasure forever. And I promise you, my grades and schoolwork didn't suffer just due to that one day of fun. Chat Icon

I don't think you're going to be able to get discounted tickets, but I think a Wed. matinee is a good idea!
