For two weeks only, Off Broadway will offer $20 tickets 20 minutes before show time during 20at20, the bi-annualcelebration of Off Broadway’s best shows.
Beginning Tuesday, Sept, 6 and continuing through Sunday, Sept. 18 a total of 35 Off-Broadway shows will offer available seats 20 minutes before curtain for only $20 each when purchased at the box office.  For a complete list of participating shows and venues, visit www.20at20.com.

Here’s your chance to catch up with shows you may have missed, get a sneak peek at the newest hit, or revisit a favorite – all for only $20.  And since Off Broadway has performance schedules to fit everyone’s schedule, you can see more than one.  On a typical Saturday, for example, you can see Gazillion Bubble Show ( I highly recommend this one-- especially for very little kids.) at 11, The Fantasticks (see our recommendation of this production here) at 2, Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating,& Marriage! at 5, Million DollarQuartet at 8 and SILENCE! The Musicalat 10:30 pm.  That's five shows in a day, for less than the price of one Broadway ticket.

This year, see any seven of the participating 20at20 shows between Sept. 6 and 18 and receive a free voucher for dinner for two at an area restaurant.  Just mail your original ticket stubs (no photocopies accepted) to: 20at20 Dinner Special, 250 West 49th St., Suite301, NY, NY 10019. All entries must be postmarked by Feb. 8 to be valid.Please include your name, phone, email, and mailing address.

20at20 is presented by The Off BroadwayAlliance, a non-profit corporation organized by theater professionals dedicated to supporting, promoting and encouraging the production of Off Broadway theaterand to making live theater increasingly accessible to new and diverse audiences.  The Alliance holds monthly meetings and membership is open to everyone in the Off Broadway theater community.  Among its initiatives, TheOff Broadway Alliance sponsors a free Seminar Series focusing on the culture,business and history of Off Broadway featuring major players from the OffBroadway scene.  The Alliance released the first ever Off Broadway Economic Impact Report, which detailed Off Broadway's $461 million annual impacton the economy of the City of New York.

Our reviews are professional reviews written without a religious bias. At the end of them, you can find a listing of language, content or theological issues that Christians might want to know about when deciding which shows to see.

** Mature indicates that the show has posted an advisory because of content. Usually this means I would recommend no one under the age of 16 attend.

Key to Content Notes:

God's name taken in vain -- means God or Jesus is used in dialogue without speaking directly to or about them.

Language -- means some curse words are used. "Minor" usually means the words are not too strong or that it only occurs once or twice throughout the show.

Strong Language -- means some of the more heavy duty curse words are used.

Nudity -- means a man or woman's backside, a man's lower front or a woman's front are revealed.

Scantily clad -- means actors' private areas are technically covered, but I can see a lot of them.

Sexual Language -- means the dialogue contains sexually explicit language but there's no action.

Sexual Activity -- means a man and woman are performing sexual acts.

Adultery -- Means a married man or woman is involved sexually with someone besides their spouse. If this is depicted with sexual acts on stage, the list would include "sexual activity" as well.

Sex Outside of Marriage -- means a man and woman are involved sexually without being married. If this is depicted sexually on stage, the list would include "sexual activity" as well.

Homosexuality -- means this is in the show, but not physically depicted.

Homosexual activity -- means two persons of the same sex are embracing/kissing. If they do more than that, the list would include "sexual activity" as well.

Cross Dresser -- Means someone is dressing as the opposite sex. If they do more than that on stage the listing would include the corresponding "sexual activity" and/or "homosexual activity" as well.

Cross Gender -- A man is playing a female part or a woman is playing a man's part.

Suggestive Dancing -- means dancing contains sexually suggestive moves.

Derogatory (category added Fall 2012) Language or circumstances where women or people of a certain race are referred to or treated in a negative and demeaning manner.

Other content matters such as torture, suicide, or rape will be noted, with details revealed only as necessary in the review itself.

The term "throughout" added to any of the above means it happens many times throughout the show.

Reviewing Policy

I receive free seats to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows made available to all voting members of the Outer Critics Circle. Journalistically, I provide an unbiased review and am under no obligation to make positive statements. Sometimes shows do not make tickets available to reviewers. If these are shows my readers want to know about I will purchase a ticket. If a personal friend is involved in a production, I'll let you know, but it won't influence a review. If I feel there is a conflict, I won't review their portion of the production.
