Off-Broadway Recommendations

I'm hoping to catch a show in the city, preferably an Off-Broadway production as I have seen most of what's on Broadway. However, it's much harder to get information about Off-Bway productions. I was hoping you can help me out with some recommendations.

Recently, I've enjoyed Hamilton, Beautiful and Aladdin. I am open to musicals or plays.

Desperate Measures at New World Stages is very clever and a lot of fun! I'm not sure how much information is out there on it, but it did win quite a few awards (including some Drama Desks) last season.

^ My recommendation, too. Avenue Q & Jersey Boys play there as well, in case you never had a chance to see.

Sweeney Todd, but hurry. It closes August 26th.

"Carmen Jones" at CSC, but you'll likely have to try for rush tickets, since their run is sold out. It's a superb production. They close on the 19th.

I was actually looking into Desperate Measures, but wasn't certain I would enjoy so wanted to ask some opinions here. Interesting the first two responses say it's a go.

I also noticed Carmen was sold out yesterday. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to watch it before the end of its run.

I would suggest Smokey Joe's Cafe or Avenue Q  - Saw Smokey Joe's and the energy and talent are outta this world - two standing ovations during the show.  Avenue Q is just fun - a lot of laughs - either way a great night !!  Have fun!

It's not for everyone, but check out Afterglow if you can!

Sweeney Todd at Barrow Street if you are going this month. And Ave. Q is always hilarious.

I must say that I did not expect Desperate Measures to be as fun and funny as it is. I was excited to hear the score ( which I now own) but the whole show is a blast.

Really? I haven't seem many good things about it on here, although from the description it doesn't sound too bad.
