A Variety Of Off Broadway Shows
There is a cult following of productions of Off Broadway shows. The theaters are usually smaller than Broadway ones and more appropriate for experimental work. Some shows begin life in these theatres and then successfully transfer to Broadway and the mainstream, including Godspell, Little Shop of Horrors and Sunday in the Park with George. Some productions have broken records, such as the musical, The Fantasticks, which is the longest running musical in the world and is currently enjoying a revival at the Duffy Theatre. The New York Times critics have a big influence on whether Off Broadway shows will get a decent run.
