I have seen it and it's a great show. One of the best I've ever been to. Make sure you get there when the doors open (1/2 hour before the show) and walk around the theatre and look around. Disney did a great job restoring the New Amsterdam to it's original look. Are you seeing any other shows while you're in NY? If you need tips on good restaraunts, let me know.

It was awesome. I saw Beauty and the Beast as well. They were both great.

You can take pictures before the show, but once the show starts you cannot. They are very strict about this. I've seen theatre staff try to confiscate film from people who have taken pictures during a performance.

I saw the show in the end of may. I went with my family and we had a blast. My mom's dragged me to a bunch of broadway plays but this was by far my favorite! have fun
As for what to wear, you don't have to dress too fancy. As long as you look relative nice, it won't be a problem.
P.S. Like others have mentioned, Picture taking causes the ushers to freak out. A person next to me almost got their camera confiscated (even before the show started)!

As a Broadway usher, I feel somewhat qualified to add my two cents.
Each different theatre has their own policy on whether or not pictures are allowed inside the theatre, even if the show has not yet started. In the time I've been ushering, I've seen a shift in the number that allow it, and now it's almost none. Cameras are getting smaller and more stealth, so it's become theatre policy in most theatres to just put an end to it completely. Also, many theatre designs (as well as show specific designs) are copyrighted and taking pictures is technically illegal, which is another reason pictures are generally frowned upon.
Your best bet is to just ask one of the ushers at the theatre that night what the policy on pictures is. You might get a nice one who will let you hang around in the audience after most people have left and take a quick one. Always better to wait until there aren't many people around, because if other patrons see you do it, you'll set off a horrible chain reaction that the staff of the theatre will then have to deal with.
And if worse comes to worse, I know the New Amsterdam Theatre has a book about it with many wonderful pictures in it. But if you're like me, why pay for a whole book when you can just get a few pics yourself? :lol:
Hope that helped, and if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
