Off-Broadway theaters, which contain 100 to 499 seats, are located throughout Manhattan, offering an intimate setting for guests. Long-running shows such as Avenue Q, Blue Man Group, Fuerza Bruta: Look Up and Stomp join limited-engagement productions such as Carrie, Galileo and Look Back in Anger for the winter promotion.


“On behalf of The Off-Broadway League, we are excited to partner with NYC & Company on the fifth iteration of the program to offer New Yorkers and visitors more value this winter through the Off-Broadway Week two-for-one ticket promotion,” said George Forbes, president of The Off-Broadway League. “The Off-Broadway theater community encourages everyone to take advantage of this tremendous offer and to experience the excitement of an Off-Broadway show.”
