Hello! I searched past threads and saw great feedback about your online ticketing company choices- and I am between two and would love some insight/ pros and cons. I found Ludus at a theatre conference and they seem wonderful- curious if anyone has used them and how you check people in at the door? Scanners? ...

A very timely question, as I am making those phone calls this week for our trip in April for the same thing! I have used Broadway.com in the past, and that is who I plan to call today. I can usually get a master class for about $50pp, in addition to the ticket cost for the show. If you have other outlets ...

I have used SHOW ME TOURS and Daniel is the absolute best! It doesn't feel like you are using a "company" and he doesn't leave your side. He is incredibly knowledgeable and can get large groups around using the subway or whatever method of transportation you like! He makes reservations at amazing ...

We too are affected by this change.

I haven't directed it, but saw it with my students when it was on Broadway and it was a RIOT! Specifically the nun! The set they had wasn't particularly intense- just the interior of the cruise ship/had a roll on set for the cabin. When things were breaking, I believe it showed (Seth Rudesky's character, ...

We used him for years before I started doing the trip myself with smaller groups. I just saw him on Letterman ...
