Broadway for Dummies

One-man shows may not be anything new to audiences on Broadway.  But when that one man show is ventriloquist Jay Johnson and his assortment of characters, are you talking about a one man show or have you crossed into some form of duo?
  

Jay Johnson and his dummy Bob, (perhaps ‘Wooden American’ would be the politically correct term) first made an appearance thirty years ago on television.  Jesse Green writes for the New York Times, “It is a sign of how far they’ve come, and how far Broadway has too.”
  

“Jay Johnson: The Two and Only,” is actually just one of many new shows coming to Broadway this season.  “A Chorus Line” opened the September 18^th, ‘Jay Johnson’ the 19^th, and Nixon’s Nixon opened the 20^th.  
  

Broadway shows reign as one of the ‘to-dos’ of New York.  Twenty-five years ago, “Nicholas Nickleby” became the first show to sell a $100 ticket.  It was not until 1991 that “Miss Saigon” became the next show to cross the threshold.  Of the twenty shows now on Broadway, 17 have hit the century mark.
  

Broadway lights up the night sky every night in New York.  Fans looking for Broadway Tickets can always find something that is sure to entertain.
