The Best Thing You Can Do in Cleveland for $10

After reading a this post on fellow CLE blog The Beard & The Broad about how to host a Broadway-themed party, I headed over the the Playhouse Square site. I'm not a great party hostess, but I am a great lover of musicals & other live theater, & their post inspired me to check out upcoming ticket options.  

What a great decision. For just $100, I snagged two tickets apiece to five upcoming shows:

• The 20th anniversary tour of RENT
• Love Never Dies, the Phantom of the Opera sequel
• Sara Bareilles's Waitress
• The epic Irish dance show Riverdance
• And one that I won't reveal here because I'm trying to surprise my mom! 

Did you know that Playhouse Square offers Smart Seats tickets to select shows for just $10 a pop? Sure, they're in the nosebleeds, but there's no such thing as a bad seat at the theater - especially for such a low cost. But you've got to jump on it quickly: They sell out! If you don't mind going to the theater alone or sitting separately from your theater-going partner, you'll have even better luck snagging a few.

In addition to the shows I mentioned above, this year's Playhouse Square docket also includes the Gloria Estefan musical On Your Feet!, my favorite Disney movie Aladdin, even an Elvis tribute... they're all coming to Cleveland within the next year, & Smart Seats tickets are available for all of them.

I've written about it here before, but it bears repeating: Cleveland has the second largest theater scene in the country - behind only Broadway itself in NYC! If you live here & you're not taking advantage of it, what are you waiting for?

 And no, this is not a sponsored post. I'm just easily excitable.

So go see something! See you at the theater, friends.
