Musicals and Plays That Don’t Break the Bank

Last weekend with my parents in town, we decided to see Next to Normal, a Tony award winning musical on Broadway. While we purchased tickets to see this show at 40% off at TKTS, they still were a bit pricey, at $78 a ticket (luckily dad picked up the bill).

Being cultured and seeing a show doesn’t mean that you should have to dip into your savings. In the spirit of the Tony Award nominations being announced this week, below you’ll find some of our favorite deals on musicals and plays going on right now in NYC.

Rock of Ages: Child of the 80s? Then you’ll love Rock of Ages. This musical has pulled together a storyline based around your favorite songs of the 80s - which is perfect for the guy who doesn’t want to have to pay attention to the lyrics to understand what the musical is all about. At select performances through June 13, you can save 45% off tickets (you’ll get $69 tickets!) as well as get a free drink by using the code ROAMET. According to Postabon member Colantoni, this is valid only at Monday at 8, Tuesday at 7, Thursday at 8 and Sunday at 7:30. (256 W. 47th between Broadway and 8th).

Stomp: If you’ve ever wanted to go see Stomp, our advice is to go on Sundays. Stomp, the shwo that involves banging of trash cans, dancing and just a ton of percussion, offers $40 tickets on Sunday night performances. Thanks to user DanaG for this deal! (126 2nd Ave between 12th and 13th St).

Graceland: If you’d prefer to see a play at an affordable price, check out Graceland, a play about siblings coming to terms with a parent’s suicide. While the subject matter seems a little deep, you won’t have to dig deep into your pockets for this show - all seats are $20. Better yet, if you have a ticket to the May 11th performance and are under 40, you are invited to a party with the cast. Enjoy free drinks, free snacks and a raffle. Show runs through May 29. (229 W. 42nd St, between 7th and 8th).
