Good news: the stagehands strike that has shut down much of Broadway for the past few weeks has been resolved. That’s the news coming out of New York City this morning.

According to several news outlets in New York, all shows will be up and running on their regular schedules in time for the evening performances on Thursday, November 29.

So if you have tickets for an upcoming performance, go see the show! Starting from tonight all performances will run as scheduled and all existing tickets will be honored. If you’ve been holding off purchasing tickets, delay no longer! The crowds are expected back in full force. That’s a not-so-subtle hint to head over to the main Viator.com site to pre-book your New York City Broadway theater tickets. Can’t decide what show to see? Have no fear, hundreds of Viator travelers have already rated & reviewed the top shows in New York. Here is a snapshot of the top-rated Broadway shows, based on reviews from Viator travelers:

• Mamma Mia! on Broadway. Review in Viator.com: “Wow! A wonderful show and my front row seat right in the middle made it even more enjoyable.” (Read all Mamma Mia! show reviews.)
• The Lion King. Viator.com review: “I was told this was a good show but OH MY GOD, you have got to see it to believe it, it was the best show I have ever been to. If I had more time in New York, I would have went to see it a second time. Any words I write won’t do it justice, it is a fantastic production and will be the highlight of any trip.” (Read all Lion King show reviews.)
• Phantom of the Opera. Viator.com review: “When we go back to New York City, we will definitely get our tickets from Viator. I am amazed that we ended up three rows from the stage. Our daughter, who is very interested in theater, watched the entire show with her mouth open. She was in awe! Thank you so much!” (Read all Phantom of the Opera show reviews.)
• Monty Python’s Spamalot. Viator.com review: “Funny from start to finish! I took my family, aged from ten to forty four, and we all enjoyed the show. Even if you’re not a Python fan, as long as you like to laugh, you’ll love this.” (Read all Monty Python’s Spamalot show reviews.)
