Theater We’re Excited For


The theater is back, and we are oh so ready.
Here is a look into what we are looking forward to seeing this year, and how we see it for CHEAP.

By Mickey Galvin and Sterling Gates


6.1.2022



A Strange Loop
April 26 - September 4
Broadway, Lyceum Theater

WHY GO?

Michael R. Jackson’s meta-musical depicting “a queer, black writer, writing a musical about a queer, black, writer” is now a Pulitzer Prize-winner, in addition to being the most Tony-nominated show of the season. The show was all the buzz off-Broadway pre-pandemic and is now receiving its well-deserved Broadway debut.

HOW TO RUSH

Rush Tickets: $47, In person daily at the box office (10am - 7pm)
Digital Lottery: $43, Drawing occurs 1 day prior to performance time

Notes on Killing Seven Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Board Members
May 17 - June 19
Soho Rep

WHY GO?

We would see anything Soho Rep puts on! This downtown theater has their finger on a certain pulse of creative energy that is innovative and exciting. Described as “a drag show about decolonizing places and people,” you can expect a classic cozy-but-edgy downtown theater experience.

HOW TO RUSH 

Advance Tickets for Purchase at $35
99 Cent Sundays May 29, June 5, and 12
$20 Rush Tickets 20 min before Curtain



Macbeth
Now - July 10
BROADWAY! (Longacre)

WHY GO?

Indulge yourself in some celebrity Shakespeare directed by one of Broadway’s best, Sam Gold. The reviews are mixed on this but that means 1) easier to get tickets and 2) you make your own judgment! 


HOW TO RUSH 

A limited number of $45 general rush tickets will be available for each performance on a first-come, first‑served basis.



Corsicana
June 2 - July 10
Playwrights Horizons

WHY GO?

Sam Gold directs this intimate play about “a woman with Down syndrome named Ginny and her half-brother Christopher unmoored in the wake of their mother's death.” The play stars experimental theater hottie Deirdre O’Connell. This woman can do anything, and your eyes will be glued to her the minute she walks onstage. We will see anything with Deirdre O’Connell, and you should too.

HOW TO RUSH
 
Rush Tickets: $20 Tickets for Young Members under 35
$10 Student Tickets
Digital Lottery: $43, Drawing occurs 1 day prior to performance time

Hamlet & Orestia
June 1 - August 13
Park Avenue Armory

WHY GO?

The Park Avenue Armory is a special place to see theater. Its massive amount of space attracts European directors and allows them to play. Olivier Award-winning Robert Thicke puts on two productions: Shakespeare's Hamlet and his own adaptation of Aeschylus’s Oresteia. The productions will be performed in repertory by the same cast this summer.

HOW TO RUSH 

$30 Under $30 Tickets using code 30UNDER30
Rush Tickets available via TodayTix day of show

Three Sisters (Adapted by Clare Barron)
TBA (2022/2023 Season)
NYTW

WHY GO?

Directed by Tony winning Sam Gold, this Checkov adaptation will (hopefully) be the star of the downtown season. Greta Gerwig, Oscar Isaac, Lola Kirke, and Steve Buscemi are all signed onto the project. Writer Clare Barron is best known for her 2018 play Dance Nation, which depicted grown adults playing the young girls of a suburban dance troupe. Getting a ticket to this play will be an Olympic sport. Think Pen 15 meets Checkov meets the Lower East Side.

HOW TO RUSH/PRICE 

At the first two performances of every NYTW production, every seat is available for just $25. OR If you’re under 25, over 65, an artist, or a resident of the East Village and Lower East Side, you can snag a $25 seat via our CheapTix Rush at any performance.
