I cannot believe it’s been a year since the last time I brought news of Off-Broadway’s great 20@20 discount.  But hey, that’s how it is with seasonal things.

Anywhoo … here we are again, at TWENTY @ TWENTY season which is possibly the best time of year to go see a great Off-Broadway show.  As far as truth in advertising goes, there’s no deal that’s better, for this one is exactly what it says it is.  For the next week or so head on down to any one of these great theatres (click on the links for theatre information) and twenty minutes before the show starts say “twenty at twenty” at the box office and get a ticket for twenty bucks.  Happy Now? You Betcha!  My Dear Edwina, it’s not only The Perfect Crime, it’s Fantastick(s). You’ll feel like Cinderella sipping a MazelTov Cocktail at her Awesome 80s Prom.  And just wait till the Naked Boys (start) Singing! Don’t wait till it’s Zero Hour … get yourself to one of these great shows (or one of the ones I wasn’t able to slyly work into the conversation – I’m talking to YOU Circumcise Me) NOW.  Keep reading for more information:

I Can Get It for You Wholesale

For those who know their Broadway Show history, I Can Get It for You Wholesale is the 1962 musical responsible for bringing a teen-aged Barbra Streisand to the New York stage; she not only debuted to critical acclaim, but she sang her way into a Tony Nomination as well for her role as Miss Marmelstein.  (For those who know their Karen Tortora [sans Lee] history, the Miss Marmelstein song was in very heavy rotation during the Spring/Summer season of Karen’s Basement Follies of 1982.  If I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m an only child who, alas, garnered no such critical acclaim).

In any case, today “I can get if for you wholesale” is more than just a link you can click while you’re reading your way through my column.  Today it’s also a very clever pun because I, I … can help get you a ticket to a Broadway (okay, off-Broadway) show for what will feel like wholesale.  And these days, that’s saying a lot.
