In addition to Broadway Week (September 2-15), during which two-for-one tickets are available in advance for such Great White Way shows as Once, Wicked, The Trip to Bountiful, Romeo and Juliet, and The Glass Menagerie, 20at20 is about to get under way, with twenty-dollar seats on sale twenty minutes before curtain for thirty-nine (what, they couldn’t have made it an even forty?) off-Broadway productions. For twenty days, from September 3 to 22, a Jackson will get you into such shows as The Accidental Pervert, Peter and the Starcatcher, Breakfast with Mugabe, The Two Character Play, Final Analysis, Unbroken Circle, Fuerza Bruta, Avenue Q, It’s Just Sex, and Philip Goes Forth. Just walk up to the box office twenty minutes before showtime (or earlier, since there is sure to be a line) and say “20 at 20” to get your ticket to that night’s show; it’s one per customer (make sure you have cash in case they’re not accepting credit cards), and the number of $20 tickets is limited and not guaranteed for every performance, but with empty seats abounding these days, this is a tough deal to pass up.
