Critics' rating is our interpretation of major NYC newspaper reviews.
Unlike Broadway theatres, Off-Broadway theatres can sometimes be a bit bare-bones. While the largest of them are the equal of a Broadway theatre, you might find yourself ducking steam pipes or sitting on ancient seats, which can sometimes add to the overall experience. Off-Broadway theatres are located in areas throughout Manhattan.
