2012 Spring, New England, USA

From my room looking down toward the east...

... and looking down toward the Times Square in the morning and in the evening.

The Times Square is very small (relative to its fame.) It's all surrounded by billboards. In the last picture is where you can get ticket to Broadway shows (the red structure can be seem from my hotel pictures above.)

This is my first time watching a Broadway show. My kids somehow liked the songs from the Wicked, so we booked the tickets before we went to the US.
I was very surprised that it cost so much (US$250+). Only after seeing the show did I realized that it's a very big business.
chin:
In Wikipedia, it's said that the Gershwin theater can sit almost 2000. When I was inside, I roughly figured that the show had more than 1000 audience. I think the cheapest ticket at list price is still more than US$100. So this Sat afternoon show should brought in more than US$150k. At 9 shows per week, the box office should be more than US$1m per week in this location alone! The total ticket sales should rival those big Hollywood movies.
Anyway, it was a good show to watch.
