I like this page because it explains discount sites and pages for all types of shows/concerts:

http://home.nyc.rr.com/frugaltheatergoe/

It includes popular sites like

www.Broadwaybox.com and

www.Playbill.com

I have had good luck with the above two and with using the first link to get me acquainted with other sites and options.

Your options may be chosen for you since your dates if in December, are less than two weeks away -

good luck!

This is the busiest, most expensive time of year - and you are absolutely last minute - so don;t expect to get any of the big hits - or even great discounts on older shows.

I would go to Broadwaybox.com NOW to see what you can get. (You ma do better on the 24th - since a lot of locals will be at home).

shows can run up to the hundreds of dollars for a seaet - what is fine with one to pay is highway robbery to another -

don't hesitate to read about (on broadway box or playbill) some of the off broadway, or off-off broadway show - many of them started there (like the Putnam Annual Spelling Bee as an example) -
the off, off off, etc has only to do with the number of seats in the venue and not the quality of the show -

so I understand the desire to have seen a show 'on broadway' but you may want to consider one on and one off or off-off

there is a wealth of excellent theater in all the choices

Depending on where the seats are, yes. Look at this seating chart.

I don't think you'll find discounts on those dates for Radio City.
