Stefanie Cohen’s article on Broadway ticket prices is a sobering look at the high cost of this most unique form of entertainment (“The Great White Ripoff,” July 26).

However, New York City’s theatrical universe does not begin and end with Broadway.

Each day, dozens of musicals and plays are presented in Off-Broadway theaters at a fraction of the cost of Broadway.

Last season, you could have seen everyone from Al Pacino to Edie Falco to Matthew Broderick, where the top-ticket price is generally about $70. And, because all Off-Broadway theaters seat less than 500 people, everyone is guaranteed a great seat.

Off Broadway gives everyone a more cost-effective opportunity to see professional New York theater at its best.
