'Avenue Q' and more Off-Broadway go 2-for-1 Feb. 8-28

The sale on Off-Broadway has been extended.

Currently, theater tickets for Off-Broadway can be purchased for $20 through the 20at20 program, which sells all remaining tickets for $20 starting 20 minutes before curtain. There are 25 shows to choose from, such as critical favorites “The Emperor Jones” and “Zero Hour.”

The 20at20 program runs through Feb. 7.

But wait, there’s more.

The city’s own tourism group, NYC & Co., has announced a two-for-one “On the House” Off-Broadway ticket deal, which will run from Feb. 8 through Feb. 28.

While the “On the House” program is less of a bargain, it does let you buy your tickets in advance rather than taking your last-minute chances at the box office. The 25 shows taking part in the two-for-one offer include “Avenue Q,” “Venus in Fur,” “Ages of the Moon,” “The Fantasticks,” “Mr. & Mrs. Fitch,” “Stomp” and “The Gazillion Bubble Show.”

Regular-priced tickets for the shows are generally in the $50 to $75 range. To get the two-for-one deal, see the NYC & Co. website for the promotional codes, which are often, though not always HOUSE.

Correction as of Feb. 8: When first published, the links to the 20at20 and On The House programs were transposed. They have been swapped.
