May 26th through June 15th, 2025
20at20 (the bi-annual celebration of Off Broadway) is back! The popular promotion, which begins Monday, May 26th and continues through Sunday, June 15th, makes $20 tickets for participating Off Broadway plays and musicals available to theatre-goers twenty minutes prior to curtain. For more than a decade, 20at20 has become one of New York’s most eagerly-anticipated promotions for budget-conscious theatre-goers.
How it works: Tickets can be purchased at each show’s box office, starting 20 minutes prior to the performance time. Some venues (such as New World Stages) will put up signage saying “20at20 Line Starts Here” so look for a sign at the theater (or ask the box office where the 20at20 line forms). These $20 promotional tickets are only from 5/26 to 6/15 and must be paid in cash ($20 ea). Some venues will charge a facility fee of up to $2.50.
20at20 is presented by The Off-Broadway Alliance (OBA), a non-profit corporation organized by theater professionals dedicated to supporting, promoting, and encouraging the production of Off-Broadway theater and 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, The Off Broadway Alliance sponsors a free Seminar Series focusing on the culture, business, and history of Off Broadway featuring major players from the Off-Broadway scene. The OBA created the Off Broadway Economic Impact Report, which details Off Broadway’s over $500 million annual impact on the economy of the City of New York.” More info: offbroadwayalliance.com

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
The time is right to see THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, Broadway's funniest smash hit! This Olivier Award-winning comedy is a hilarious hybrid of Monty Python and Sherlock Holmes. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. With an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines), it’s “A RIOTOUS EXPLOSION OF COMEDY!” (The Daily Beast) and “TONS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES!” (HuffPost). Ben Brantley of The New York Times calls THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG “A GUT-BUSTING HIT,” and Cindy Adams of the New York Post has just one word for you: “GO!” Get tickets now – it would be WRONG to wait!

PERFECT CRIME: NEW YORK’S LONGEST RUNNING PLAY
Warren Manzi's PERFECT CRIME is a sexy, funny and fast-paced thriller that makes for a great night of whodunit. The longest-running play in NYC history takes place in the home of a wealthy psychiatrist, Margaret Brent, who is accused of murdering her husband. The handsome detective thinks he has it all figured out, but her husband's murder is only the beginning in what may just be the perfect crime. PERFECT CRIME is the perfect show for fans of Law & Order, CSI, Sherlock, Gone Girl, Only Murders in the Building, and Hitchcock films!
MADDIE: A NEW MUSICAL
Liberating, late 1970s. Nick and Jan Cheyney have recently moved into a dilapidated attic apartment in the East Village, New York City. Beneath the peeling wallpaper, they are amazed to uncover a message scrawled in lipstick by 1920s dancer Madeline Marsh. Fascinated by the discovery, they are unprepared for the return of its ghostly author, still desperate for a second chance at becoming a star.
THE IMAGINARY INVALID
Monsieur Argan is a notorious hypochondriac whose nonexistent illnesses blind him to the con men and women (his new wife) who prey on his fears to fatten their purses. His plan: marry his daughter to a doctor so he'll have free round-the-clock on-site healthcare for the rest of his life. Newly translated by Mirabelle Ordinaire and adapted for Red Bull by Jeffrey Hatcher, THE IMAGINARY INVALID is a brilliant satire of doctors, lawyers, and would-be patients who take self-care to staggering levels of pathological solipsism. A comic whirlwind of pills, lovers, therapies, disguises, vaccinations, impersonations, masks, mindfulness and miracle cures.
THE OFFICE! A MUSICAL PARODY
The beloved mockumentary reaches a new level of laughs with The Office! A Musical Parody. Fans of the television series will be happy to know that all their favorite characters are on board, as are some key plot elements. When the original British version of The Office premiered in 2001, it brought something completely new to television comedy. Sure, sitcoms had lampooned office culture before, but never with the cringe-inducing level of awkwardness that creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant allowed their characters to display. Then the American Office became an enormous hit series -- and a comedy landmark. In the hands of writers Bob and Tobly McSmith, the stage version adds an unexpected tuneful touch that takes things to another place entirely, and the outrageousness lives on.
SINGFELD! A MUSICAL PARODY ABOUT NOTHING
Join Jerry and his three best friends as they navigate the highs and lows of living and loving in New York City.

A loving family is broken apart with the onset of mental illness in their 17-year-old daughter. And the whole family enters the wilderness: the absurd, comical and nightmarish maze of doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, a super market variety of diagnoses and medications. As they grope through the darkness, the violent consequences of a poorly run state facility, and the fierce stigma of mental illness – the family finds a new way to come together again.
