Broadway Grosses
Now while we might be in the middle of Winter Broadway is still going strong. Last week alone four shows grossed over a million dollars with six more grossing $700,000 or more. Not too bad for February. With March less than two weeks away and Spring just around the corner I expect those figures to reach even greater heights. Now the good news is that even though things are looking up there are still great seats left for all shows. Not only that but at prices that are lower then you will find anywhere else.Right now there are at least fifteen shows on Broadway that you can see for below face value. Sounds good right? All you have to do is call one of the friendly ticket experts at Applause and say that you are looking for "The Best Seats at the Best Prices" and we will take care of the rest. It's as simple as that. Don't forget that Applause is open seven days a week. 365 days a year. That means were always here to help with all your ticket needs. That's what we do.

God Of Carnage Winter Sale
Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play is God of Carnage. The show which will celebrate it's first year on the Great White Way on February 28 is one of Broadway's most successful plays in years. It was recently announced that a new cast will take over on March 2. Set to join original London star Janet McTeer are Dylan Baker and Lucy Lui. Also returning is original cast member and Tony nominee Jeff Daniels. However this time he will be playing the role originated by his former costar James Gandofini.I myself never got the chance to see the show when it first opened largely in part because it was not available. Hopefully I will get a chance to see it this time around as I have heard that it is not to be missed. By the way if you call now we can get you tickets to see this Tony winner at some incredible savings. This offer is only good thru April 4 so don't delay.Get your tickets to see God of Carnage on Broadway. It is a must see.

The good thing is it doesn't have to be. Right now there are over fifteen Broadway shows that you can see at prices that are at below face value. Broadway tickets for below face value? I must be mad.

Buying Tickets The Easy Way
When it comes to buying tickets to a Broadway show there are hundreds of ticket companies out there that you can call.Now I'll be honest that ordering tickets can sometimes be a little confusing. But it doesn't have to be. Let's say you want tickets to Wicked or Billy Elliot but are not sure what are the best seats. Just call us and we will get you the best seats and at the best prices. It really is that easy. Now let's say that you and your family are coming to New York and want to see a show but don't want to have to mortgage your house to do it. No problem. Applause has "Insider Deals" for over twenty-five Broadway and Off-Broadway shows including the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Now how can you beat that? Look we all know that the economy is not the best right now. Seeing a Broadway show is a luxury for most people. But that doesn't mean that seeing a Broadway show has to cost you and arm and a leg either. I'll be the first to admit that theatre tickets are not cheap. But there are ways around it if you do your homework. The rest is up to you.JWB

Finian's Rainbow Comes to Broadway-Performances Begin October 8, 2009
Finian's Rainbow is a Broadway musical revival I've been personally been looking forward to for several years. Honestly, I have heard talk about it being revived but it never seemed to happen until very recently. So now its my pleasure to tell you a little something I have heard about Finian's Rainbow.Finian's Rainbow will begin preview performances at the St. James Theater on 44th Street in New York City on October 8, 2009. With a cast of 35 talented actors and actresses, this old fashioned musical with a great musical score is sure to please young and old alike. It's a real quality family show, something Broadway could use much more of in my opinion.
Set in the "deep South", Finian's Rainbow tells the story of an "Irish dreamer" named Finian (played by Jim Norton) and his daughter Sharon (played by Kate Baldwin) who move there all the way from Ireland. Not only is Finian's daughter a difficult person but they settle in a town where they face the prejudice of the local politicians, an economic crisis and an obnoxious leprechaun. Still Finian's Rainbow is also a love story that gives way to some of the best classical songs ever to be written for a Broadway musical.
Jim Norton plays Finian, who was recently seen in The Seafarer and won a Tony Award for his performance in 2008. His daughter Sharon (Kate Baldwin plays the role) falls for Woody (played by Cheyenne Jackson, formerly of Xanadu), and Christopher Fitzgerald plays "Og", the leprechaun. Mr. Fitzgerald recently played in Young Frankenstein on Broadway recently.
At this time, I thought I would share with you a little "secret" insider tip about how to get tickets for Finian's Rainbow at discount prices. If you think you might want to see Finian's Rainbow during the October through December 2009 months, my company can obtain great tickets for you at prices that are below face value. Simply put, we have an insider's price with Finian's Rainbow where we get significant discounts for most performances of the show. We then add on a modest service charge and offer you a retail price that is still lower than the usual printed ticket price.
Applause Ticket Agency (NY State license #71AP1001029) is open seven days a week to answer any questions you may have. If you think you, your friends, co-workers or family members might want to catch a performance of Finian's Rainbow, you might want to call us at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930. Whether you want to make a purchase or just want to talk about Broadway Shows, we'd love to hear from you.
Remember to call and say The Ticket Man told you to call. That's me, Rich Gladstone, The Ticket Man.
Take care now. Enjoy Finian's Rainbow
Sincerely,
Rich Gladstone

Applause And The New York Pass
Let's be honest. Most people that call to order tickets are calling from another state or in some cases another country. They call Applause because they are looking to get good seats and hopefully at some great prices. In the past couple of years we have seen an increase in our consumer sales. In fact a lot of those customers call us because they found us in something called the New York Pass book. Being a New Yorker I never knew this existed until a few years ago when someone came to our office because they read that by going thru Applause they could get a 10% discount on theatre tickets. Sounds good right?The other day I received a call from a young lady in Australia who found our number in the book and wanted to see if she could get discount seats to see The Lion King. I mentioned to her that while I could get her seats to the show there were other shows that I could get for a better deal as The Lion King is one of the shows that doesn't offer a substantial discount. Being on a budget she was appreciative that I could give her another option. I asked what she had seen an she said that it was her first trip to New York and she wanted to get the whole "Broadway Experience". I told her the most popular shows were Wicked and Jersey Boys but she had said that she had seen them in Australia so she wanted something that was exclusive to New York. I suggested Hair and In The Heights which not only are they exclusive to New York but are two exciting and moving shows.
I told her while I loved both of them I was partial to In The Heights. Those of you who read my blogs know that I am a fan. I told her about the show and she said it sounded fun but then she mentioned that her father had seen the original production of Hair when he visited New York over forty years ago and loved it. She was torn on what to see. I told her that if she wanted to see both shows that I would be able to get her and her friend good seats but below face value. Well that sealed the deal. I found her the date that would have the best price for the best seats and well the rest is history. Maybe I'll have to try the New York Pass myself. Hey I may be a New Yorker but a bargain is a bargain.

Now Is The Best Time To Come To New York To See A Show
Summer is here and you know what that means don't you? Why it's time to come to New York City and see a Broadway show of course. Not only that but right now you can see over thirty shows in New York at some incredible savings. Over the years I have seen all the highs and lows in this business. For example the first ten days of July are know to be extremely slow in New York. Now that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. You see when things are slow or times are tough most shows will offer discounts. Make sense right? Producers would rather have a full house at half price than a bunch of empty seats. So pack your bags and head to New York to see a show. Deals like these don't last forever so call Applause now. You'll be glad you did.Want tickets to any show On or Off Broadway? Call Applause Theatre Service now.
The best seats at the best prices. That's Applause.

Broadway Theater- Now and Forever
Today is a big day for Theatre in NYC: the Tony Award Nominations were read this morning at Lincoln Center. It is a specially great day for me as I have been out of work for over a year due to illness. I usually try to see every show on Broadway but unfortunately only saw 2 shows in more than a year. It made me realize how much I love the theatre and how important it is in my life. It is the reason I started Applause with Rich Gladstone
almost 22 years ago. I was an actor in High School and College. I actually played Lenny in Of Mice and Men and I weighed about 150 lbs and was 6'3"tall. If you are not familiar with this play, Lenny is a big guy well over 200 lbs and is slow mentally. Being the child of parents who lived in the depression, there was no possibility of becoming an actor. I started working at the age of 10 and worked throughout high school and college. I had to give up acting after my first year in college. This is not a sad story as I am sure I never would have made it as an actor. Applause has given me access to the Theatre. There is a story about a guy who works in the circus and and cleans up the droppings behind the elephants. One time a guy asked him why he doesn't get a better job. He replies: What and give up show business. Luckily being an owner in Applause has allowed me to be deeply involved in the Theatre and the opportunity to see the musicals and plays both on and off Broadway. It makes me love my job and I am sure that the people who are reading this are people who love the theatre as those of us who work at Applause do.It is amazing how tastes differ. One of the advantages of
Applause is that we have a staff who love the theatre but differ so much in their tastes. I think much of the success of Applause is the personal attention that we give to our clients and that many of our clients have been with us for years and our staff remembers their tastes and what shows they have enjoyed in the past. As most of you probably know we are located in NYC. So many times customers have told us I can't believe you are in NYC, you are so nice on the phone. I have to tell you an anecdote. A woman from down South called and asked : do "ya all" know when they light the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. When our agent said please hold on and I will get the information. The customer noted her Brooklyn accent and said: Do "yous guys" know when they light the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center. We all had a good laugh as she felt she had to translate for us. It does show how considerate our customers are.We know that these times are difficult but we are doing our best to get the best ticket deals for our clients and many times are able to sell tickets below the normal selling price by getting special deals. Like us, we know how much the theatre means to you.

Matthew Broderick Returns to Broadway in The Philanthropist in April 2009
A few weeks ago a saw Matthew Broderick standing next to his "real life" wife Sarah Jessica Parker at The Oscars out in Hollywood. They were being interviewed on the red carpet of course. Matthew usually seems kind of reserved to me, almost on the quiet side. The reason I was thinking about this was because whenever I have the chance to see Matthew Broderick perform on a Broadway stage-his stage characters are always "quite talkative" to say the least. Interesting contrast I guess.Never the less, Mr. Broderick is returning to Broadway once again in a new Roundabout Theater Company comedy called The Philanthropist. The show takes place at an elite British university where we see "nice guy" professor Phil who refuses to go along with his fellow colleagues extremely critical views. What happens is he winds up hurting his very own credibility in the often dysfunctional world of education. And in his bedroom as well. Mr. Broderick was last seen on Broadway in The Producers and The Odd Couple yet he has seen great success in film and television throughout his entire career.
Joining Mr. Broderick on stage will be Steven Weber, star of the television series called Wings some years back with a most recent stint on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. He has done lots of television and films over a very successful career, an actor who always seems to be working. Mr. Weber replaced Mr. Broderick performing the role of Leo Bloom in The Producers on Broadway. So to me, it's kind of great that they are performing together this time around. Rounding out the cast are Jonathan Cake, Anna Madeley, Tate Ellington, Jennifer Mudge and Samantha Soule, all actors with many noteworthy credits in the arts. Academy Award-winning writer Christoper Hampton (Les Liaisons Dangereuses) is the playwright and direction is by David Grindley (Pygmalion)
The Philanthropist is a strictly limited engagement. Performances will start on April 10, 2009 and run through June 28, 2009 so you may want to consider buying tickets if you think this show might be a good one for you.
By the way, Applause Theater Service, a New York State officially licensed ticket agency has discount tickets for The Philanthropist for many performances prior to opening night critic's reviews. They know where the best seats for the best prices are for this show. And if you think you may want to see other Broadway Shows, simply click here to check out our up-to-date listing of Broadway theater.
Enjoy your day or night at The Philanthropist or show of your choosing. To me friends, there's nothing like live Broadway theater.

Jane Fonda Comes to Broadway-Need Tickets?

Ms. Fonda plays a musicologist with ALS disease hoping to solve a mystery-why Ludwig van Beethoven spent most of his final years being "tone-deaf" and writing 33 small masterpieces that were all based on one inferior waltz, written by another composer.
I have read recently that Ms. Fonda is writing a book about aging and one chapter discusses Beethoven and how he and many other famous artists overcame many of life's difficulties due to aging and their ever chasing desire to accomplish what they set out to do. Right now it sure sounds like 33 Variations is a perfect role for Ms. Fonda. I can't wait to see it.
If you want tickets to see 33 Variations, give me a call in New York at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930. I sell tickets at Applause Theater Service, a licensed ticket agency in New York City. At the moment I can get you a discount for 33 Variations through March 22, 2009 performances. We have some "insider prices" and access to good seats in the orchestra and front mezzanine of the theater.
I hope to hear from you when your plans include 33 Variations or any other Broadway Shows of your choosing.

Susan Sarandon Comes to Broadway in Exit The King
I've always been a big fan of Susan Sarandon on the big screen. I am pleased to report that Ms. Sarandon will appear in Eugene's Ionesco's comedy called Exit The King. Preview performances begin on March 7, 2009 with an opening night of March 26, 2009. Australian native Geoffrey Rush (Shine and Pirates of The Caribbean) will co-star. Both actors have won Academy Awards and are generating lots of excitement on Broadway this Spring. This will be Mr. Rush's first time on the Broadway stage and Ms. Sarandon's first appearance in over 25 years. Wow, how lucky can us theater fans get? 
Rounding out this exciting cast are Andrea Martin (Young Frankenstein, Candide, Fiddler on the Roof are some Broadway credits) and Lauren Ambrose (who played the role of Claire Fisher in HBO's Six Feet Under).
Exit The King tells the story of a country that has seen its better days and the King that confronts his own mortality. The play was written in 1962 and follows King Berenger I and his much too long a "reign" . The show is supposed to be "hilarious" according to the New York Post.
Exit The King will play the Barrymore Theater for a strictly limited engagement of 14 weeks only. For a short time only before the critics come in for their usual "reviews", the friendly ticket experts at Applause Theater Service in New York City have uncovered insider prices for Exit the King. The special rates are good through April 26, 2009 and might not be extended as the show is expected to garner great reviews.
If you think you may want to see Susan Sarandon, Geoffrey Rush and cast in Exit The King, you can call Applause now directly in New York City by calling 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930.
Remember to ask for the Exit The King "insider's price". We hope you love this show as much as we expect to when it comes to Broadway. If you need some suggestions of other Broadway Show offerings, just let us know how we can help.

Broadway's Newcomers
As the colder winter months in New York become a part of our past memory, my thoughts go to the Applause Theater Service phone lines playing that "old familiar tune". The sound of ringing telephones with shoppers and customers making Broadway Show inquiries and purchases.Thanks goodness folks. Some of my past blog postings made mention of business to New York and to Broadway in general as not being "not that bad". Although we never really felt business would be "way down" for longer than a handful of weeks, it wasn't until a few days a go when I really started to realize that things seem to be really "picking up" for New York theater.
If you simply have a look at the nearly 40 Broadway Shows that will be playing performances within the next few weeks or so, its easy for those of us in the Broadway "ticket selling" end of the business to be experiencing "much busier" phone
activity in our phone rooms all throughout New York. I'm sure our friendly competitors would agree.Anyway, I thought I would drop you all a note to remind those of you wanting to see one of the newer season's Broadway Shows - what you may want to consider when making show
selections this season. The new shows are all very different from one another. They are:Billy Elliot - imported from London's West End
Guys and Dolls - a revival of one of Broadway's classics

Shrek The Musical - talk about originality
West Side Story - this season's most talked about revival
If one of these shows appeals to you and you
think you want more information or possibly purchase tickets, you may call the friendly ticket experts at Applause a call. They are located directly in New York City at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930.Applause staffs their telephone room seven days a week, 365 days a year. They have expert knowledge of all the Broadway shows, seating diagrams and where nice places to eat before the show are.
Give them a call, you'll be glad you did. They love to talk Broadway theater.
Sincerely,
Rich Gladstone

Now Is The Best Time To Save On Avenue Q

Avenue Q is one of my favorite shows on Broadway. I first saw the show during previews and thought it was one of the funniest shows I had ever seen. In fact the reason I had to go back so many times was because I was laughing so hard the first time I missed some of the jokes. If you are looking for a great night in the theatre that will make you laugh from beginning to end then Avenue Q is the show to see. Plus if you call Applause now we can get you tickets to see Avenue Q at some great savings. So what are you waiting for? See the 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical and the only Broadway show to proudly proclaim,"It Sucks To Be You!"

Last Chance to see Cirque du Soleil's WINTUK in New York City

I thought I would write a quick blog to anyone interested in seeing WINTUK, Cirque du Soleil's new winter wonderland family adventure by Sunday January 4, 2009. This amazing creation by the Cirque du Soleil performers takes place now through the first weekend in January 2009 and Applause Theatre Service in New York City is announcing its very "first time Insider's ticket deals" for Applause customers and the general public.
Wintuk tells the wonderful heart warming story about a young boy's mission to bring "joy and snow" to a usual gray and dreary winter time. As is standard in all Cirque du Soleil shows, you will get to witness thrilling acrobatics as well as amazing special theatrical effects. Beautiful songs and an emotional story line as you get to see the young boy's journey with his friends to the imaginary place called WINTUK, will create lasting memories of the Christmas time of year for you, your friends and family.
There's only 3 weeks left to see this great show and Applause will get you excellent seats with great prices. Simply call Applause Theatre Service in New York City now at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 1-800-451-990 and ask for the "Wintuk special". You can see Rich Gladstone told you to call.
The ticket experts at Applause Theatre Service love to talk Broadway Theatre so feel free to ask any other questions you may have about seating, prices, restaurant suggestions, shopping and more.
Enjoy WINTUK today. This is only played during the Christmas holiday season each year so try to make a date if you want to see a special show.
Enjoy, thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Rich Gladstone

A Sad Tale Indeed! "Tale of Two Cities" is closing Nov. 16th


Well, is it the current state of the economy or did the vicious critics strike again!? Applause Theatre Service has learned that the epic musical "A Tale of Two Cities" is set to close on November 16th after only 68 performances. I was not a huge fan of the show like most people in my office, but I definitely think it deserves to be seen and should have been given a chance to run for awhile. It's a classic story that immediately draws you in and has good music with some terrific performances. I was a bit in and out with the show but overall, entertained. And I feel that's the most important thing. Now apparently up for grabs is one of the most coveted musical theatre houses on Broadway — the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
So you only have a couple of weeks left to catch this very entertaining show. Most people compare it to "Les Mis", and if you're a fan of that genre, you'll love it!
Call an Applause Sales Expert now to get the best seats at the best prices! Ask for the Applause Insider Deal for some big savings!

Broadway Tickets By Phone-Applause Theatre Service Goes Mobile
Got an iPhone or a Blackberry handheld phone? Need Broadway Show tickets? Or how about special event tickets like the Super Bowl, Radio City's Christmas Spectacular, the US Open Tennis tournament, or any other event performing around the country? In the past you may have heard about Applause Theatre Service, a long time industry veteran selling tickets of admission for all the shows on Broadway.Applause Theatre Service in New York City, an expert ticket provider in offering every major Broadway and Off Broadway show to consumers, hotel concierge, tour operators and travel agencies worldwide, is proud to announce its entry into the mobile web site arena. They have just launched a brand new web site which can be found at Broadway Tickets By Phone.
The new site has been created especially for the thousands of Applause's devoted customers and fans and has been designed so that cell phone users will have fast, simple and easy to use access to anything they are interested in on Broadway. In a few seconds you can simply type in the web site address and immediately see our local or toll free phone number in New York City. Then maybe give us a quick call if you are on the run but need to buy some tickets or even if you just want to talk about what's playing on Broadway.
According to Applause's Vice President Rich Gladstone, "allowing consumers access to any kind of travel and entertainment and ticketing information on their handheld, especially up to date listings on live entertainment happening on Broadway and events all over the country is a natural for the mobile cell user". Gladstone further went on to say "we have been providing a personal Broadway ticket service for over 31 years now and every year or so there seems to be some new device or new software that comes out meant to further enhance the lives of people. It is truly amazing that nearly a million Internet shoppers find out about our personal Broadway ticket service from around the world every year. Then they click on our web site or find us in one of their search engines, give us a call and begin a relationship with Applause. There may be hundreds of companies selling tickets but we are confident that if shoppers can find out about Applause, than we can make them a believer in our service. They not make a purchase the first time we talk with the shopper. They may shop around and talk to a dozen other ticket providers and that's OK with us. We are confident that we are truly the local Broadway Show expert. In the end, we don't expect nor do we want to be a really big ticket company. We're just a bunch of real people helping consumers get the best tickets for the best shows at the best prices".
The new web site Broadway Tickets By Phone is a perfect brand name for our new web site. In the coming days, Applause Theatre Service will be making little changes to the new mobile friendly web site. The changes according to Gladstone "all have to do with the customer service experience. We anticipate that cell phone users will really enjoy the Broadway Tickets By Phone site. It has lots of good, clean information on everything happening on Broadway but in a tastefully but somewhat scaled down version. It will be very easy to use for the mobile phone user. If anyone has suggestions as to any improvements we can make to bring Broadway ticketing and Broadway news to cell phone users, please give us a call in New York at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930. Or if you have a minute simply email Rich Gladstone at rich@applause-tickets.com .
