Summer is known to be the slow time for theater in the great city of New York. The fall season always seems to be the time when all the huge hits hit The Great White Way and ticket sales from box office grosses go through the roof. A Broadway ticket broker dream, as tickets sell like hot cakes and at extraordinary prices to boot. The off season of summer is not short of new opening on Broadway and many great shows still head to New York and patrons still attend. Many knowledgeable New Yorker's take advantage of the time of slacking ticket sales to catch a popular show with ease. Many popular show times are available with a face value ticket price from the box office direct. Many others who love theater take advantage of new musicals and plays which open during the summer season. These shows may not have the popularity as some of the huge productions, but are quite a catch for a classic night out on Broadway.

Legally Blonde is one such show which brings fun and comedy to the heart of New York. The familiarity of the show strikes a chord with many who know of the sassy and fashionable Elle Woods character from the hit movie of the same name. Now Legally Blonde has become a musical which opened at the Palace Theater on April 29, 2007. This show has become very popular and doing well at the box office even in the off time for Broadway. Legally Blonde is a great time for a light hearted night filled with laughs and music and should be an amazing night for a family event.
