The History of Musicals Starting Off-OFF-Broadway Photo
The History of Musicals Starting Off-OFF-Broadway
by Jennifer Ashley Tepper - Jan 25, 2026

The history of shows that have transferred from off-Broadway to Broadway is well documented. Hundreds of Broadway plays and musicals started out off-Broadway before making the leap to a Broadway house. But much more rare is the circumstance of a show starting out off-off-Broadway (that’s right, two ‘off’s!) and traveling all the way to the main stem. One of these shows is playing right now, and is a major theatre success story with off-off-Broadway roots!
