Broadway
shows are often associated with some specific terms that can help when
deciding which shows to see before buying tickets online. If a show is
defined as a Broadway show, then it generally
is in one of the 39 main theaters that are mostly located in the Midtown
area. These are usually the most expensive shows with the largest
production values.
An Off-Broadway show
is usually a popular show that is being performed in a slightly smaller
theater that is located outside of the Theater District. There are a
number of Off-Off-Broadway shows as well, indicating that the theaters
can be located anywhere throughout New York City and that the subject of
the show might be more artistic than a larger Broadway show
