As such theater promotions as 20at20 and Broadway Week wind down, Off Broadway Week is just getting started. Two-for-one tickets are now on sale for nearly fifty off Broadway productions, from old favorites to shows still in previews. Among the old-timers are Blue Man Group at the Astor Place Theatre, The Fantasticks at the Snapple Center, and Stomp at the Orpheum. Twofers are also available for the highly touted Buyer & Cellar at Barrow Street, about a struggling actor who gets a job as an assistant to Barbra Streisand; Riding the Midnight Express at the Players Theatre, in which the real Billy Hayes tells the true story of his Turkish imprisonment; the New Group’s world premiere of Thomas Bradshaw’s extremely graphic Intimacy at the Acorn; Caryl Churchill’s Love and Information at the Minetta Lane; Craig Lucas’s Ode to Joy at the Cherry Lane; Bikeman: A 9/11 Play at Tribeca Performing Arts Center; Charles Busch’s The Tribute Artist at Primary Stages, starring Busch and Julie Halston; the new musical Transport at the Irish Rep; John Van Druten’s London Wall at the Mint; and the AA play Bill W. and Dr. Bob at SoHo Playhouse. There’s also plenty of family friendly shows, including The Berenstain Bears in Family Matters, the Musical; Piggy Nation: The Musical; The Amazing Max and the Box of Interesting Things; and The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told!
