Tickets to Off-Broadway musicals in New York in May 2025

Get tickets to Off-Broadway musicals currently playing or opening soon on New York Theatre Guide. Broadway musicals are an unmissable part of the New York City experience, but there's so much more musical theatre to discover all across the city. You can be among the first audiences to see a future Broadway hit in the making — Hamilton and Hadestown are among the multi-award-winning hits that got their start in an Off-Broadway theatre.

Broadway classics also get revived off Broadway often, too — right now, you can get Little Shop of Horrors tickets and see this celebrated production of the horror comedy classic. Exciting limited engagements of musicals are always going up off Broadway, too, and these productions range from time-honored classics to fresh world premieres. Some may go on to Broadway, but there's no experience like seeing the original production in an Off-Broadway house.

Off-Broadway theatres, being smaller than Broadway venues, offer a more intimate experience for the audience, allowing them to see their favorite shows more closely than ever. Some shows are even immersive, allowing audiences to participate in the story. Off-Broadway musicals offer everything from Broadway-caliber spectacle to more simple, stripped-back experiences, and they exhibit a vast range of music genres beyond what's typically found on Broadway, from rock to pop to folk to blues to jazz and much more.
