There are a lot of descriptors you can ascribe to theater in New York—plentiful, world-class, freakin' amazing—but cheap generally isn’t one. That’s why Broadway Week and its wacky cousin, Off-Broadway Week, are the equivalent of a very late (or very, very early) Christmas for stage lovers who are as cash-strapped as a certain flame-haired orphan. You can nab two-for-one tickets to any of 19 Broadway shows through February 7, and to 37 Off Broadway offerings through February 10.
