Will it be possible to buy a theatre ticket in new york for a show up to 3 days later?

Question

for shows phatom of the opera, hairspray, wicked,chicago.

Answer 1

Yes, but they will hold it at the box office. There is a stike now in NY so make sure you check that out. Most shows are on strike, except for Mary Poppins and a few others.

Answer 2

You can try but the popular shows sell out fast.

A strike has gone on for over a week. Ticket holders will get first choice to some of the shows you mentioned. If you really want a ticket to a particular show buy before.

If you are not fussy, you can get 2 for tickets the day of the show.

good luck)

Answer 3

Keep in mind, right now there is a strike keeping most of the Broadway shows closed--the only shows still open are:

“Cymbeline,” “Mary Poppins,” “Mauritius,” “Pygmalion,” “The Ritz,” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “Xanadu”, “Young Frankenstein,” and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
