For two weeks only, Off Broadway will offer $20 tickets twenty minutes before show time during 20at20, the bi-annual celebration of Off Broadway's best shows. Now in its 5th year, 20at20 has become one of New York's most eagerly-awaited events!
The announcement was made today by Peter Breger, chairman of The Off Broadway Alliance, the non-profit organization which sponsors the event.
Beginning Monday, January 24th and continuing through Sunday, February 6th more than 30 Off-Broadway shows will offer available seats twenty minutes before curtain for only $20 each when purchased at the box office. For a complete list of participating shows and venues, visit www.20at20.com.
Here's your chance to catch up with shows you may have missed, get a sneak peek at the newest hit, or revisit a favorite - all for only $20. And since Off Broadway has performances to fit everyone's schedule, you can see more than one. On a typical Saturday, for example, you can see Gazillion Bubble Show at 11, The Fantasticks at 2, Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage at 5, Naked Boys Singing! at 8, and Fuerza Bruta at 10. Where else can you see five shows in a day, for less than the price of one Broadway ticket?! And where else can you see the next A Chorus Line, Doubt, In the Heights, Rent, Proof or Spring Awakening - before the prices go "uptown" - and enjoy these shows in the intimate environment that can only be found Off Broadway?
