New York Broadway Is Alive and Well

w York Broadway shows have found a revitalized return with sold out seating and excellent attendance with increased New York Broadway tickets sales. Huge hits such as The Odd Couple, Wicked and Monty Python's Spamalot all attracting new audiences into the theater scene to see what all the rave is about. Many point to such original masterpieces as Rent and Avenue Q for the turnaround on Broadway and the high ticket grosses, other might say the advertising and marketing are the source of the new trend.With Oprah now in a full swing PR move to get theater go'ers to see The Color Purple and Andrew Lloyd Webber's new much anticipated The woman In White, it seems New York's theater district is in a full push forward with no end in sight.

Original playwrights and musical scores seem to be what has many returning to Broadway and what also has the awards such as the Tony's in a buzz. People have fallen in love with Avenue Q, for example, the wild idea of mixing people and puppets together and dive into the characters so deeply has been exepted as a great fresh idea, from the sound of the production one might think the show is a funny cute "childish" affair, but Avenue Q is much more then this, as it goes deep into these puppets lives, with such topics as sexual identity crisis and Internet junkies.Jersey boys is another example, playing in the old Virginia Theatre, currently the August Wilson Theater, this play house was unable to survive throughout it's history because it could not attract crowds or the hit productions, however the venue has found nice success and is doing very well thanks to the smaller more original musicals becoming popular with critics and audiences alike.

The big headliners and large production are doing extremely well on Broadway right now as well, but it is without doubt the smaller, originals which have sparked the drawof audiences back to the theater to see what all the critical buzz is about.So while New York thrives again on it's arts and culture which continue to be the heart of the city. New York Broadway ticket prices have seen an increase as well, the days of inexpensive nights out on Broadway seem to be in the past, as premium seating for to top shows can be hundreds of dollars if not more. The theater district is once again making it's statement that the streets of Broadway are more then just the pulse of New York entertainment, it just might be the heart of it all.
