Chapter 18 — Entertainment & Gaming

Is seeing Broadway or West End worth it?

Yes at least once — the production values dwarf touring versions. Tickets are expensive ($150–400 for hits) but same-day rush, lottery, and standing room seats put good shows within reach of $30–50. Weeknight performances are cheaper and often better-attended by locals.
