Broadway Show - RENT - New York City

No one can escape the gigantic ads and billboards plastered all over NYC, namely Times Square. These ads are trying to get you to go to their musical. Cats, Wicked, Mama Mia, RENT, The Lion King, Jersey Boys, etc, etc, etc. I am a lover of musicals, so I knew I could not get out of the city without going to a Broadway show. With much researching and budgeting, we decided on the Broadway musical, RENT!

RENT is a story of a bunch of friends, trying to survive the city of lights with diseases, homosexuality, and just a little change in their pockets. I read rave reviews about RENT and was so happy to be going! It's incredible, the theaters just off Times Square. If you weren't going to a Broadway show, you wouldn't know that this is where productions take place. Just tiny little theater-fronts mixed amongst everyday New York City buildings!

For these Broadway productions, the dress code varies. My family and I dressed up, but we saw ticket-holders wearing jeans and t-shirts. Maybe their motto is: "I don't care how you get here, just get here!"

After this awe-inspiring performance, I was itching to see another. Unfortunately just the one show was all time allowed us to see, but this experience will be etched in my mind forever as one of the best!

Tips on Broadway Musicals:

-Before your trip, look online for ticket deals!
-Buy tickets early!
-Don't take pictures inside the theater, even if the production hasn't started yet. The ushers will find you and confiscate your camera for the remainder of the performance!
