How to find out what is available at TKTS?

We're not going to NYC until April 11, but want to see Sweeney Todd while there. Day to day, is there any way to find out what may be available at TKTS before we get there?

Thanks.

-Bill

Their web site has a list of what was available during the previous week.

Anonymous is quite right. The website for finding this is out is:
http://www.tdf.org/tkts
Then, click on "Broadway at the Booths."
However, be aware that a show might have been available at TKTS the whole week or maybe just for one performance. You have no way of knowing this in advance.
April 11 is a Tuesday, which is the slowest night of the week on Broadway. So, if that's the night, then you probably will have a good chance of getting tickets. However, if you're planning on going later in the week (which is approaching the busy Easter weekend) then your chances are not nearly as good.
Another option is to check www.playbill.com and/or www.broadwaybox.com in about a month of so to see if any discount offers are available for Sweeney. There is one now, but it expires in mid March.

The other thing you need to keep in mind is that you don;t know how many TKTS has. They may have a lot - of they may have only 20 or 30 - in which case if you're not at the front of the line you may miss out.

If you really want a specific show I would go for advance discounts through Broadwaybox.com.

Yeah, I hear it is spectacular. A friend at work saw it late last year, she screamed when I told her I was going.

That week includes Passover and ends in Easter - very big 2 weeks for travel - so I am not sure how reliable previous week's data will be.
