In other discount news, you can get $20 rush tickets to Off-Broadway shows 20 minutes before curtain during the week of March 4-March 11, 2007. It's part of the 20to20 promotion. I've heard great things about The Big Voice: God or Merman? (closing soon), I remember Stomp fondly from the previous century, and I was quite amused by Gutenberg! The Musical! when I saw it at Upright Citizens Brigade.
