Amy, it depends on when you're going. If it's over a weekend, then definitely get the tickets in advance.
If it's midweek, first, check out the Playbill website (www.playbill.com) and see what's available. Or, you can take you chances at TKTS.

I saw The Graduate Saturday night and it was great, highly recommend it. I was nervous, coming in for the weekend from Boston to see this show specifically, as it left Boston with mixed reviews. Well worth the 4 hour drive! Kathleen Turner was born for this part, Jason Biggs stole the show, just a great play that moved quickly and didn't drag on. Very humorous at times too. Having said that, Alicia Silverstone.... Within her first 10 minutes onstage, it seemd to me, she couldn't carry the role. There has to be someone else more suited to play this part! I kept thinking that she was trying so hard to prove she could handle Broadway when in fact she isn't ready for it. We got advance tickets from ticketcity.com. Paid a premium for them however we had the most incredible seats. You probaly don't stand a chance getting tickets to a show unless you buy before you go or stand in line at the Times Square booth (by 8am no later)or box office.

Okay, saw The Crucible and Thoroughly Modern Millie this week. Both are excellent and enjoyable. The Crucible is very heavy drama, but Liam Neeson is unbelievable. So, you could pick from those two, 42nd St., Full Monty, Proof, Allergists Wife, and Elaine Stritch. IMO, these are the best Broadway has to offer at the moment.

Saw The Graduate and highly recommend the play. Within the first 20 minutes Kathleen Turner is naked. It is all very tasteful though and she does not embarass herself at all. She comes out in a towel, lights are dimmed, and she drops the towel. The second time she sheds her clothes in the play, she is in a slip, the third time is a bedroom scene and it is full frontal nudity. Once again, very tasteful. If you are at all uncomfortable with nudity I would avoid the play. The moments she is totally naked are brief, no more than a minute, and the lights are dimmed. As a female, when I am her age, I hope I have the body, confidence, and grace to pull it off!
