Hello, my fellow theatre aficionados! Seeing as how the Broadway Lottery is becoming more popular, I've decided to make a part two to my article: "Tips to Win the Online Broadway Lottery." Hopefully, with these little bits of advice, you'll be able to score those cheap tickets!

1. Check the seating availability


In most cases, lottery winner seats are subject to availability. So, if you want to see how good your chances are for a particular show, you can go on Ticketmaster and check the seats that are available for the date you want to go. If there's a lot of seats, there's going to be a lot of winners, and you might be one of them!

2. Apply for one ticket

Many people feel like live theatre is an experience that they have to share with their family and friends. For this reason, it's very difficult for theaters to sell single seats. So if you're someone who doesn't mind seeing a show by yourself, you have a better chance of winning the lottery this way.



3. Enter when the weather is bad


For obvious reasons, entries are low when the weather is bad. If you don't mind enduring somesnow or rain to watch a show, this is an ideal time to enter.

4. See it before the Tony's

Shows really start to gain traction after they win at the Tony's. So if there's something that you really want to see, you should enter before then, so you can avoid lots of competition for the lotteries.



5. Know that you have other options

If you find yourself having constant bad luck with the lottery (Which, let's face it, is all of us), remember that there's other ways to get discounted tickets. Many shows offer rush tickets (buying them at the box office on the day of the performance) and standing room tickets when the show is sold out.Playbill keeps a regularly updated list of these policies.


These may be less convenient, but the magic of Broadway is always worth it. Break a leg, everyone!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
