How to get a cheap ticket for Evil on Broadway

Although the film adaptation is magical, there is nothing like the original stage show.

You could be a newbie Evil Fan because you’ve seen the film adaptation or maybe you’ve always wanted to see it Evil on stage. Whatever the reason, dear Ozian, now is a good time to immerse yourself in Oz as the stage show enters its second decade on Broadway.

With the show at the Gershwin Theater on 51st Street, there are a handful of ways savvy audience members can score Evil Tickets at prices below the box office.

A limited number of $69 tickets are available at the door for select weekday performances up to a month in advance for students with a valid student ID. Subject to availability, these seats may be placed anywhere in the theater at the discretion of box office staff. Student tickets are limited to two tickets per ID.

Larger groups of students should book through us Evilon the Group Sales website, where rear mezzanine tickets are available for $59 and rear orchestra tickets are available for $79, which can be viewed here.

A limited number of $79 tickets are available for select weekday performances up to a month in advance for military veterans with a valid military ID. Subject to availability, these seats may be anywhere in the theater at the discretion of box office staff.

For fans without special ID: Evil offers digital lottery for one day. Evil does not offer on-site tickets and the lottery with on-site tickets is currently suspended. Currently, the only public lottery available is the BroadwayDirect digital lottery.

Lottery tickets for Friday night, Saturday matinee and evening and Sunday matinee performances are $70. All other performances are $60. As of January 2025, lottery ticket prices are $50, including all fees. All lottery winners have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets at the lottery price.

For matinee performances, the lottery opens at 10:00 a.m. the day before and ends at 4:00 p.m. the day before. For evening performances, the lottery opens at 8:00 p.m. the day before and ends at 11:00 a.m. on the day of the performance. The winners will then be notified and have 1 hour to purchase the tickets online using a credit card. The e-ticket will then be emailed to the winner’s email address. The number of lottery tickets released varies depending on the performance, as does the location of the lottery slots.

Evil does not offer standing room tickets. Wheelchair spaces are available in the orchestra and on the mezzanine of the theater. Wheelchair users may purchase one wheelchair and up to three companion seats per order, if available. For guests with limited mobility, seats with folding armrests are also available for aisle transfers.

If you’re flexible with your schedule and want to plan ahead, keep an eye out for Broadway Week deals, which run for two weeks each January and September. During Broadway week, almost every show in the Main Stem has two tickets for the price of one, and Evil has been involved in providing 2-for-1 tickets in recent years. So check back with Playbill.com as we will be announcing Broadway Week as soon as the deals are live.

But don’t worry, there are more shows on Broadway. For more information on how to get the cheapest tickets to Broadway’s biggest hits, visit Playbill’s Broadway Rush/Lottery/General Admission Policy page.
