Can you go to the theatre the day of the performance and buy tickets for the same day? It will be on a Sunday afternoon. Or do yuo always need to go ahead of time?

yes you can if you want to get tickets for a show on the same day the show will be on then go to the TKTS in Times Square.

If you don't have a particular show that "have" to see, you can try the TKTS booth in Times Square or downtown for half-price tickets on the day of the show [not everything is available]. Check their website for more info.
Individual theaters sometimes have standing room only tickets or tickets that have been returned; these would be available at the theater box office on the day of the show, probably near curtain time.
There are other ticket vendors - if you do a search on Broadway tickets, I'm sure you'll find them. Just make sure they're legit.

You can try the same day. If you take a chance and go on the day you hope to see the performance, understand that when the strike ended many people are coming into the city just to see a show and you might be disappointed. Suggest you have several plan B's.

you can go to tkts (half price tickets) day of the show only and see what's available. some shows offer a lottery when you go and pay $20 for first 2 rows if you number is called.

it depends on what show you want tickets for. some more popular musicals you will need to get tickets days or even weeks in advance. if you're seeing a drama, you can probably get tickets that same day.
