basic
You

Hi, we're looking for tickets to a Broadway show tonight. What's available?

你好,我们想买今晚百老汇演出的票。有什么可以选的?

T

Let me check tonight's availability. We have discounted tickets for 'Wicked', 'Hamilton', and 'The Lion King'. 'Wicked' has the best availability — mezzanine seats at 40% off, that's $89 per ticket. 'Hamilton' only has a few rear mezzanine seats left.

让我查一下今晚的票。有折扣票的是《魔法坏女巫》、《汉密尔顿》和《狮子王》。《魔法坏女巫》票最多——楼厅座位打六折,每张89美元。《汉密尔顿》只剩几张后排楼厅了。

💡 TKTS是纽约时代广场著名的折扣票亭,专门卖当天或次日百老汇演出的折扣票。通常有25%-50%的折扣,但热门剧目(如Hamilton)很难拿到折扣票。

You

Two tickets for 'Wicked', please! Are mezzanine seats good? I've never been to a Broadway show before.

来两张《魔法坏女巫》!楼厅座位好吗?我从来没看过百老汇。

T

Mezzanine is actually one of my favorite spots — you get a great overview of the stage, including the flying scenes in 'Wicked'. The sound is also excellent up there. Orchestra seats are closer but mezzanine has the best overall view.

楼厅其实是我最喜欢的位置之一——能看到舞台全景,包括《魔法坏女巫》里的飞行场景。那里的音效也非常好。正厅更近,但楼厅整体视角最好。

You

Sounds perfect. What time does the show start, and is there anything we should know about the theater?

听起来很好。演出几点开始,剧场有什么需要注意的吗?

T

Curtain is at 7 PM — I'd suggest arriving by 6:30. Doors open 30 minutes before. Absolutely no photos or recording once the show starts. Phones must be completely silenced — not just on vibrate. And there's an intermission halfway through, about 15 minutes.

开演7点——建议6:30到。提前30分钟开门。演出开始后绝对不能拍照录像。手机必须完全静音——不只是振动模式。中间有一次中场休息,大约15分钟。

You

Got it — we'll be there early. Is there a dress code?

明白了——我们会早到。有着装要求吗?

T

Broadway is pretty relaxed — no formal dress code. You'll see everything from jeans to suits. Most people go smart casual. Just be comfortable and enjoy the show!

百老汇很随意——没有正式着装要求。从牛仔裤到西装什么都有。大多数人穿精致休闲。穿舒服的就好,享受演出!

Welcome to the Gershwin Theatre! May I see your tickets? You're in mezzanine, row D, seats 108 and 110. Up the stairs to your right, and the usher on the mezzanine level will guide you to your seats.

欢迎来到格什温剧场!请出示您的票。您在楼厅D排108和110号。右边上楼,楼厅的引座员会带您到座位。

You

Thank you! Oh, are there programs or playbills available?

谢谢!对了,有节目单或宣传册吗?

Yes! The Playbill is free — there's a stack at each entrance. It has the cast list, the story synopsis, and some behind-the-scenes info. Enjoy 'Wicked' — you're going to love it!

有的!Playbill节目单是免费的——每个入口都有一叠。上面有演员表、故事概要和一些幕后信息。祝您享受《魔法坏女巫》——您一定会喜欢的!

Intermission & After the Show · 中场休息与观后感

intermediate
You

Wow, that first act was incredible! I had chills during 'Defying Gravity'. Should we get something to drink during intermission?

哇,第一幕太精彩了!《Defying Gravity》那首歌让我起鸡皮疙瘩。中场休息去买点喝的吗?

Definitely! But let's hurry — the line at the bar gets really long during intermission. We only have about 15 minutes before the second act starts.

一定去!但要快——中场休息时酒吧排队的人很多。第二幕开始前我们只有大约15分钟。

You

Can I get a glass of Prosecco and a sparkling water, please?

来一杯普罗塞克和一杯气泡水。

Sure! That'll be $22 for the Prosecco and $6 for the sparkling water. Cash or card? I'd also recommend pre-ordering your intermission drinks before the show next time — you can skip the line and pick them up right away.

好的!普罗塞克22美元,气泡水6美元。现金还是刷卡?下次建议演出前预点中场休息的饮料——可以免排队直接取。

💡 百老汇剧场酒水价格偏高。很多剧场允许开演前预点中场休息的饮品,这样中场时直接去指定柜台取就行,不用排长队。

You

Great tip, I'll remember that! Card, please.

好建议,我记住了!刷卡。

That was absolutely amazing! The special effects, the singing, everything! Do you want to try to meet the cast at the stage door?

太精彩了!特效、歌唱、一切!想不想去舞台门试试见到演员?

You

Is that a thing? Can you actually meet the actors after the show?

真的可以吗?演出后真的可以见到演员?

Yes! It's a Broadway tradition. Most actors come out through the stage door after the show — usually 20-30 minutes after curtain call. They sign Playbills and take photos. Not every actor comes out every night, but it's worth a try!

可以!这是百老汇的传统。大多数演员演出后会从舞台门出来——通常是谢幕后20-30分钟。他们会签名和合影。不是每个演员每晚都会出来,但值得一试!

You

Let's go wait! I have my Playbill ready. How should I ask for an autograph politely?

我们去等吧!Playbill准备好了。怎么礼貌地请求签名?

Just be warm and genuine. Something like: 'Hi, you were absolutely incredible tonight! Would you mind signing my Playbill?' If they seem rushed, be respectful of their time. And have your phone ready for a selfie — most actors are really nice about it.

真诚热情就好。比如说:'嗨,你今晚的表演太精彩了!可以在我的节目单上签个名吗?'如果他们看起来很赶,尊重他们的时间。手机准备好拍合影——大多数演员都很乐意。

You

Excuse me, hi! You were absolutely incredible as Elphaba tonight. The flying scene gave me chills! Would you mind signing my Playbill?

不好意思,你好!你今晚演的Elphaba太精彩了。飞行那场让我起鸡皮疙瘩!可以在我的节目单上签个名吗?

Thank you so much, that's so sweet! Of course — here you go. Where are you visiting from?

太感谢了,你太好了!当然——给你签好了。你从哪里来的?

You

We're from China — this is our first time seeing a Broadway show. It was truly magical. Could we take a quick photo together?

我们从中国来——这是我们第一次看百老汇。真的太神奇了。可以快速合个影吗?

Your first Broadway show? I'm so honored it was ours! Of course, let's take a photo. Say 'Wicked'!

第一次看百老汇?很荣幸是我们的剧!当然,来合影。说'Wicked'!
