Kids Night on Broadway with (kinda) free tickets

Tickets are now on sale for Kids Night on Broadway, the annual promotion that allows you to get a ticket for free for a child age 6 to 18 … as long as you buy a non-discounted adult ticket to go along with it.

And considering all the deals out there, the Kids Night bargain might not be the best bang for your buck. However, you can rest assured that dragging a tantrum-prone tyke to Broadway on February 3 and 4 might get you more sympathetic looks than glares.

Tickets went on sale Monday, and unfortunately some shows have already sold out, including, you guessed it, “Wicked” and “Billy Elliot.”

However, you can still get tickets to “Shrek,” “The American Plan,” “Avenue Q,” “Chicago,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Grease,” “Gypsy,” “In the Heights,” “Lion King,” “Mamma Mia,” “Mary Poppins,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “39 Steps” and “Young Frankenstein.”

Participating Off-Broadway shows are “Altar Boyz” and “Stomp.”

Note that note all shows are suitable for all ages.

Ticket holders also get to attend a pre-theater party February 3 at Madame Tussauds New York. Rosie O’Donnell is the National Ambassador for this year’s Kids’ Night on Broadway.
