Here's Why You Should Go
Off-Broadway is a staple of New York’s thriving theater culture—a vehicle for so-called straight plays (dramas without music), genre-defying experiences and Pulitzer Prize recipients. The theaters accommodate 100 to 499 seats, an intimate experience compared to Broadway’s houses, which hold between 500 and 1,800. NYC Off-Broadway Week is produced by NYC Tourism in collaboration with the Off-Broadway League. Since its inaugural year in 2009, the program has sold over 100,000 tickets.

Tips for NYC Off-Broadway Week
Whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned theatergoer, keep these helpful pointers top of mind.
Book Early
Ticket availability is limited, and popular shows sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional seats are released throughout the program but it’s best to book ahead.
Go with a Group
The 2-for-1 offer translates to 50% off each individual ticket, with a two-ticket minimum—so you can get multiple friends in on this great deal.
It’s Never Just a Week
NYC Off-Broadway Week can seem fleeting, but it’s always longer than seven days—plenty of time to catch a show or three.
Know the Neighborhood
Though traditionally associated with downtown, Off-Broadway has a healthy presence in the Theatre District and elsewhere in Manhattan. Make sure to check the theater location and plan accordingly.
