Off-Broadway Suggestions?

There's no board for Off-Broadway, but I hope I'm not clogging the Broadway board with this thread...if so, please delete it!

I've seen pretty much everything on Broadway except for a few shows that I don't want to see, and I'm looking for a few other NYC shows for this coming weekend. People on the board mostly mention Broadway, so I was wondering if anyone can suggest any other shows not on Bway to see. The only Off-Bway I've seen so far are In the Heights and 10 Million Miles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park productions! best of all, they are FREE!

Passing Strange...even though I believe this weekend is its closing weekend

Although I've yet to see it, I've heard good things about Eurydice at Second Stage. I really would like to see it.

Have you seen Altar Boyz yet? It's so fun and so good!

The new Forbidden Broadway. It's only got a limited run I believe so see it while you can.

I read about this production of Eurydice a while back in American Theatre as part of their creative spotlight section... looked GREAT. Glad its playing here now and I hope to catch that as well. The water effects look amazing from what I have seen!

There is also the revival of The Fantasticks playing at the Snapple Theatre center It is a virtual restaging of the longest running show/production in the world (regarless of what Cam-Mac claims).....

I haven't been able to find any, but are there any discounts for Eurydice? The broadwaybox code has expired and I don't see any rush policies on TalkingBroadway...

Again, thank you so much for all of your help. I now have lots of fun shows to see and I'm incredibly excited!

I know it's been on TDF, which you can't take advantage of if you're not a member.

I highly recommend Gaslight (irishrep.org) with its lavish set design and the star power of Brian Murray. One of my favorites of 2007.

Yes, I recommend Fantasticks too ! Phenomenal cast, including Tom Jones himself. He is so funny !

You can get tickets for all performances for $39 at Broadwaybox.com

Eurydice is very overrated. Notice that everyone who recommended it, has yet to see it. The production is not all its cracked up to be. And yes, I have seen it.

In The Heights.
