For most people it is a traveling dream to get to Manhattan and see one of the amazing Broadways Shows, hopefully, in a historical theater. For most travelers there is a choice to be made about what to see. Some of the tickets are really expensive and many of the shows are sold out way in advance so one must look ahead and make early plans. Sometimes the theater itself can be a big draw to a performance, however, if someone wants to see a certain show, they might not really care were it is showing.
Take the classic show Chicago which is at the Ambassador Theatre . The Ambassador Theatre was opened in 1921 with its first production of The Rose Girl. It became a movie theater for a while, then a television studio for NBC and now it is hosting one of the top selling shows, Chicago. That makes it a great theatre with amazing history.
Another famous theatre on Broadway is the George Gershwin Theatre . Named after the very famous Broadway show composer George Gershwin. It is sitting on the old site of the Capitol Theatre and it opened in 1972 with its first production musical Via Galactica which was sadly not a hit. The lobby is the home of the American Theatre Hall of Fame which makes the pre show and intermission a more interesting time. It has been the home of the Tony Awards in the past and it is now the home of the super hit show, Wicked.
While making plans for your visit one is sure to find many boutique Manhattan hotels to choose from that are close to many of the shows on Broadway. Otherwise the city is rather small in actual land size so it shouldn’t be to much to get a taxi or take a subway train. If you plan to go in style there are plenty of limo’s to order from your concierge.
