About Off-Broadway Shows

62 shows are running Off-Broadway this week: 24 musicals and 36 plays, plus 2 special engagements. 43 more have dates to start, and 33 are announced without dates.

Off-Broadway theaters are smaller than Broadway houses, from about a hundred seats to just under five hundred, and their calendars vary: some shows play eight times a week, others five or six, and many are limited runs. Seven shows here have announced a closing date; the next few weeks are listed under closing soon.

Most shows here run between 1 h 20 min and 2 h, intermission included; the shortest is Violet's Magic Glasses at 50 min, the longest Saigon at 3 h 20 min.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Broadway and Off-Broadway?

The size of the theater. Broadway houses seat 500 or more and are clustered around Times Square; Off-Broadway theaters seat roughly 100 to 499 and are spread across Manhattan. It says nothing about quality: several Off-Broadway productions have later moved to Broadway. See all Broadway shows.
