To encourage New Yorkers and visitors to purchase tickets as part of the theater promotion, NYC & Company launched a video campaign, Inside Off-Broadway. The campaign features three videos, to be released during the next two weeks in the lead-up to Off-Broadway Week, starting on February 23. The videos spotlight programming and behind-the-scenes footage from Avenue Q, Fuerza Bruta and Gazillion Bubble Show and capture the diversity, energy and intimacy of Off-Broadway.
“Off-Broadway is home to innovative and cutting-edge performances, and the new videos we have created capture their special and unique position as some of our most creative theater,” said Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company. “Off-Broadway Week is a perfect opportunity for shows to welcome even more guests and for theatergoers to enjoy one or more of the 40 productions at a terrific value during this special promotion.”
“We are excited to partner once again with NYC & Company on this season’s Off-Broadway Week,” said Adam Hess, President of The Off-Broadway League. “This 2-for-1 ticket opportunity made possible by NYC & Company and our League Members allows theatregoers and first timers to experience all that Off-Broadway has to offer with a friend, family member or colleague.”
