Broadway Ticket Raffles

One of my favorite parts about living in New York City is getting to see Broadway shows. And each month, Fordham gives students the opportunity to see shows for $20 through the Campus Activities Board ticket raffles.

On the first Monday of every month, CAB invites students to attend the raffle where many tickets to the best upcoming Broadway shows, comedy shows, and New York City sporting events are raffled off. In the past, I have been able to see some of the best New York has to offer, including “Once,” “Cinderella,” “Big Fish,” and even the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.

Before the show! 

Most recently, I got to see “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” the 2014 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical. The show is about a man who discovers that he is a member of a royal family and will stop at nothing to take the crown. It’s one of the funniest musicals I’ve ever seen, and I’m so happy I got to see it for such a little price that is even cheaper than most student discount offers! I was also able to meet the actors afterwards at the stage door, which was really cool.

With the lead actor Bryce Pinkham! 

During the last raffle, I won tickets to “Cabaret,” starring Emma Stone and Alan Cumming, and I’m obviously very excited to see that. CAB’s monthly ticket raffles are just one of the many benefits of being a Fordham student!

Onto the next show!

Weekend Update

Hello all! Happy Monday. This weekend was marvelous. We experienced some nice weather, which was much needed. Our students took advantage in a variety of ways! Check it out below!

Erica Restaino

On Friday, I went to the MoMA since there is free admission on Friday evenings. It was a lot of fun to wander around and look at all of the artwork, especially the pieces I recognized from my art classes!

Drew DiPane

This past Tuedsay was my birthday, so Friday night I celebrated it with friends over delicious pizza at Michaelangelo's and then (attempted) to play tennis in the beautiful weather on Saturday. Many students took advantage of the nice weather and spent most of their time outside on Eddie's and other grassy spots.  

Emma Eccleston

I went to a Miley Cyrus concert Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn! I went with five of my friends from school; we all had so much fun. It was definitely a crazy experience! 

Taylor Engdahl

My friend and I got tickets to see a taping of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! Standby tickets are available daily...another great perk of going to school in NYC!
