Off Broadway shows
Although Broadway shows are a huge tourist attraction in New York City, many people also like to check out Off-Broadway shows. There are plenty of these performances and they are filled with much of the same extraordinary talent in music, dance and theater. Over the years Off-Broadway shows have gained a tremendous amount of popularity among tourists and New Yorkers as well. Off-Broadway is where most theatergoers hear about the exciting plays and musicals first. It is usually about $30-60 cheaper to see an Off-Broadway show and of course, they are not performed in the famed New York City theater district. Usually you will see these shows in theaters that are smaller, less amplified and in smaller neighborhoods.
Off-Broadway has been the birthplace for many of America’s greatest plays and musicals. Some of the more popular Broadway shows were originally presented as Off-Broadway shows. Some of these include, A Chorus Line, Little Shop of Horrors and the world’s longest running musical, The Fantasticks, is an Off-Broadway classic.
Something else Off-Broadway offers are many event and interactive shows. Blue Man Group and Stomp became popular as Off-Broadway performances. Off-Broadway theater has also been the place where many well know actors of today got their start. Some of these actors that once called Off-Broadway their home include Robert Duvall, James Earl Jones and Jean Stapleton.
