Okay, Mayeg, but in this would probably only be useful if you're going to see Broadway shows. I kinda made this post to highlight all the OTHER kinds of theater that are made in the city besides the Broadway stuff, including experimental, independent, and off-off-Broadway shows. If you'll notice, none of the venues I listed are in Midtown, they tend to be downtown, actually.

Long Island City has a lot on now - check out The Secret Theatre. They're doing loads of improvisational/experimental Shakespeare, including the rather bizarre pairing of Titus Andronicus and Midsummer's Night Dream in repertory .At just $15 a ticket, it's a serious bargain. Also, for $10 cover + $10 drink minimum, Jim Caruso's Cast Party every Monday night at Birdland is a great option for Broadway fans without the dosh - it's an open mike night that tends to be up-and-coming Broadway performers hoping to garner buzz.

That said, if you're willing to shell out the big bucks, I just saw "A Little Night Music" on Broadway with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury and it's seriously worth it - some of the minor cast is a bit "off" vocally, but CZJ has enormous stage presence, it's worth the money alone for the audience's adoring response to Lansbury, and it's a great script/score.
