My SIL and I really want to go, where can we get the best deals on Broadway tickets? Since it's still a pretty new show with the original cast and all, is it even possible to get discounts? Thanks.

I think we may have "lost our shot" at this one! It's become too huge, especially since Lin-Manuel Miranda won the MacArthur award.

I tried getting tickets when it first opened on Broadway, and even then, the prices were pretty insane (even for Broadway). My DD has a friend from her Birthright trip who's pretty connected in the NY theatre world and actually worked with Miranda on his previous show, "Into the Heights." She couldn't help, either. Even the tickets that are held back for VIPs, reviewers, etc., had been long-since reserved.

Years ago, I was scrupulous about keeping an ear to the theatrical ground and seeing potential megahits while they were still being performed in flea-infested storefronts. As I've gotten older, I seem to find myself not in "the room where it happens," but washing dishes a few boroughs away.
