You get to see all the lights and crowds of people, as well as go to shows and shop. On weekdays, it seemed like things were a little less expensive. Maybe they have more sales to bring in people on these days. You will probably encounter street performers, but they aren’t as pushy on weekdays. If you want to experience it, I recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night. The crowds are larger, the shows have their A list actors but are more expensive, and the street performers will all but push you into a photo and then tell you its $20.

Walking around and exploring Time Square is better than staying in those tourist buses.
To purchase tickets Broadway tickets, always compare prices between the TCKTS Booth (at the middle) vs. from the theatre itself. Be wary of those marketing cheap tickets (they don't match sometimes).
There are small restaurants found along in nearby alleys/streets that offer good food. These are cheaper than the ones found near Times square.
Lots of people keep looking up when they get amazed by the lights and sounds. Don't forget to look down as some tourists also step on gum, spilled drinks, and food.
Its not bad to pause and reflect, put your phones down, and just immerse in the
diverse environment of Times Square!
