Many people usually assume that Manhattan is similar to New York Theater, but the truth is that there is generally lots of awesome stuff happening beyond the colorful lights of Great Whites Bay. Many innovative and extremely creative new musicals, instrumentals as well as plays usually happen on reputed New York performance stages. Off Broadway shows New York City have hitherto been lauded for their authenticity, originality and other salient qualities.

Ranging from comedy shows to kid events to movies and even music, these theaters definitely have something for everybody. They ensure that the theatergoers are as satisfied and entertained as they desired to. Therefore, instead off always going to Manhattan theaters, you might consider seeing these off-Broadway ones once in a while, to break the monotony. My bet is that you will not get disappointed at all.

The first question many people ask is what factors are actually considered for a theater to be considered of such a class. It should be noted that the whole of Manhattan has a total of averagely forty theaters regarded as Manhattan. The most singular consideration for a theater is its size. These theaters ideally, must be averagely under five hundred seats.

Another aspect that people often question is whether off-broadways can in any way, be in Manhattan. People assume that they cannot, but interestingly, they can. This is because the location has never been a factor for consideration. Apparently, there are myriad such reputable companies that are all over Manhattan, up to Harlem. Nevertheless there are many companies like Second Stage, which are primarily homed at the commonly known theater district. Noteworthy also, a leading off-Broadway company, Snapple Theaters, is located just around Great white way and 50th Streets.

You should not shy away from seeing their performances, since they will guarantee optimum fun and a whole new experience. Recent winners of major awards like Pulitzers were firstly aired in these performance theaters, for example Clybourne Park and many others. Besides, top-notch music is also premiered here, for instance Avenue Q, In the Heights, etc. There are also a variety of companies that major deal with revivals, producing rather forgotten plays in amazing fashion. Others produce original content that you can never see on Manhattan shows.

Besides, by choosing off-Manhattan, you will have an opportunity to see some of your favorite stars, the likes of Mary Parker, Dinner Wiest and many others. Not only will you see these already-established celebrities, but also other upcoming actors that are on their way to glory.

It should not however be assumed that getting tickets for such theaters is actually much easier compared to Manhattan ones. It is not always the case. Many of the companies for instance Signature Company, normally have very sturdy subscriber bases which buy staggering number of seats way before the show even commences.

The assumption that tickets for off-Broadway plays and shows can be easily acquired is wrong, since it is not always easy to acquire one. This is because some are bought by hundreds of people before the shows begin. Ensure you have secured yours early enough, at Box Office, TKTS line, among other options.
