That big mass of people is what must be a daily phenomenon (since it was the middle of a weekday when I took this), people lining up at the TKTS booth to get discount broadway tickets. (Ah the blessings of Student Rush Ticket lotteries.. which is how I got into Wicked.) Anyway this is times square, worth noting because if nothing else you can see billboards for 3 of the 4 shows I saw- though The Producers billboard is a little hard to make out. (It's to the left of Aida.)
