Last week, I had the pleasure of seeing John Stamos in Bye Bye Birdie on Broadway. The Bye Bye Birdie musical is a classic story of a teenage heartthrob who is headed off to war, much to the dismay of his adoring female fans.
While the play hasn’t had the best reviews in the press, it was quite enjoyable. With a cast lead by John Stamos and Gina Gershon, the play provides the audience with a fun, colorful, and high energy glimpse into life of the 1960’s.
What can be better than seeing John Stamos on Broadway, you ask? How about some awesome ticket prices. You might have to do a little hunting to find the deals, but we were able to get tickets for just $18 a piece (including fees). Interested? You better hurry! The show’s run ends on January 24th, 2010.
Are you bored and looking for something fun to do in New York City? If so, you should go see A Bronx Tale on Broadway.
A Bronx Tale is a one man show, written and performed by Chazz Palminteri, that tells the story of a young boy in the Bronx and the influences that shape his life - from his working class father to the ‘tough guys’ who run the streets, Chazz sets the scene and takes you away to 187th and Belmont in the 1960s. For an hour and a half expect to laugh and be thoroughly entertained, and the best part is that you can get half price tickets at the tkts booth the day of the show! (tkts is located in the Marriott Marquis Hotel during the renovation of Duffy Square: West 46th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue).
Whether you’ve seen the movie, or you’re just looking for something new to do on a Sunday afternoon, you should definitely go to see this classic broadway play.
