That sounds awesome.
Since you brought up finances, I'll make clear to anyone wondering: I know this can be expensive, especially when you go often. Even for people with discretionary spend capabilities, for many of us adding something new means taking away something we already love.

My point really - for those who need convincing - is if you haven't even thought about going ever, or in a while, think about trying it once [again]. If you're flexible TKTS has deals. My wife and I got out of the habit of seeing shows, concerts, etc., when our girls were young. We still could have swung the money and also arranged sitters on occasion. We just didn't. Now we do and I'm very glad of it.

By the way, Bill and Ted made a most excellent Vladimir and Estragon. I think their real life personal 40 year history together helped deepen the performance. Didi and Gogo have their own decades long friendship, even if they have trouble remembering it. Ponzo was very strong also. Lucky has less opportunity to shine but he certainly did not pull the team down.

TKTS can be nice if you get there early enough and have a decent selection. I believe discounts are about 20-30% depending on the show.

Alternatively, many of the shows have ticket lotteries and offer discounts up to around 50%. It is hit or miss sometimes and you may get a seat with obstructed views of the stage. Each show lottery has their own rules with regards to when you can enter and rules to purchase your ticket if you are selected. Definitely worth a look if you are flexible with when you can go see a show.

Now is a good time to partake in broadway and off broadway if you have never gone before or want to get back into it. Ticket prices will be going up since Broadway is struggling to make a profit and to be fair, ticket prices have not increased all that much relative to the cost of putting on a production.

We go a couple times a year and still believe we don’t go enough.

Just saw Ragtime at Lincoln Center. Terrific.

I had a great aunt who once met Samuel Beckett. He was incredibly rude.

The last Broadway show I saw was Fela.
