New York's Theater District covers an area stretching roughly from 40th St to 54th St between Sixth and Eighth Aves, with dozens of Broadway and off-Broadway theaters spanning blockbuster musicals to new and classic drama.
Unless there's a specific show you're after, the best – and cheapest – way to score tickets in the area is at the TKTS Booth , where you can line up and get same-day discounted tickets for top Broadway and off-Broadway shows. Smartphone users can download the free TKTS app, which offers rundowns of both Broadway and off-Broadway shows, as well as real-time updates of what's available on that day. Always have a back-up choice in case your first preference sells out, and never buy from scalpers on the street.
The TKTS Booth is an attraction in its own right, its illuminated roof of 27 ruby-red steps rising a panoramic 16ft 1in above the 47th St sidewalk.
