In-Depth Information
In general, 'Broadway' productions are staged in the lavish, early-20th-century theaters
surrounding Times Square. You'll choose your theater based on its production -
The
Book of Mormon, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, Lion King
. Evening performances be-
gin at 8pm.
'Off Broadway' simply refers to shows performed in smaller spaces (500 seats or few-
er), which is why you'll find many just around the corner from Broadway venues, as well
as elsewhere in town. 'Off-off Broadway' events include readings, experimental and
cutting-edge performances and improvisations held in spaces with fewer than 100 seats;
these venues are primarily downtown. Some of the world's best theater happens in these
more intimate venues before moving to Broadway.
