The story focuses on how he struggles with relationships to people around him.
Another production worth watching is Hamilton, which has been making waves worldwide for quite some time. It’s a hip-hop musical about the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton through modern techniques of music and storytelling. The play has been critically acclaimed and is not to be missed.

For dance enthusiasts, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre is due to perform an unmissable showcase featuring its world-famous dancers. Established in 1958, the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre is one of the most recognized dance companies globally, boasting a large repertoire of modern and contemporary dance.
Comedy
Lastly, if you’re into comedy, you’ll be happy to know that some of the most popular comedians in the world are on tour. Kevin Hart’s “The Irresponsible Tour” promises to deliver an uproarious evening, while Jerry Seinfeld’s signature observational humour in his “Stand-up Io” tour is not only remarkable but a perfect way to relax after a long day’s work.
FAQs:
1. Where can I get tickets?
Most tickets to these events can be purchased online on official sites of the event. In addition, there are various physical ticket outlets throughout the city and ticket kiosks at shopping malls and public areas.
2. What should I wear to these shows?
There is no strict dress code, but it’s a good idea to dress up a little if it makes you feel better. As a rule of thumb, avoid clothing that might be too casual for the type of event or audience you’ll be around. Theatre productions, for example, may require a smart casual dress code, whilst a rock concert might be more lenient with it.
3. What time should I arrive at the event?
It’s slated that you should aim to at least arrive around 30 minutes prior to the event starting. You may need to show photo ID to purchase drinks at bars inside the venue. If possible, it’s always a good idea to confirm what time the doors will open and arrive a bit earlier than that.
Best Practices
– Check the seat map before buying show tickets, this will help choose the best seat(s) in terms of price and seating arrangement.
– Join group albums or fan pages of your favourite artists or shows to get updates on upcoming events or special promotions.
– Take advantage of early-bird offers, as show organisers offer discounted tickets in advance.
– Familiarize yourself with the venue so that you can get a feel for the layout and the facilities that they offer.
