What is Off-Broadway?
Off-Broadway is known as the birthplace for many now-famous plays and musicals such as the world's longest running musical, THE FANTASITICS, and the popular AVENUE Q. Off-Broadway also boasts several long-running and famous interactive shows such as BLUE MAN GROUP and STOMP.
Many of the Off-Broadway theaters are smaller, more intimate, less expensive, and located in diverse neighborhoods where culture abounds in the form of great local restaurants and shops.
