Specifically, any shows currently playing and scheduled to still be running, OR, shows scheduled to start previews by September. This is the list of shows I got from Playbill, but even they seem to miss some shows/special events, so feel free to add anything not on this list.

I'm open to anything Off or Off-Off Broadway. Plays, musicals, special theatrical events, comedy specials etc.

And, yes, I understand that if the show hasn't started previews, you can't tell me if the production's any good, but I'd certainly like to hear what are your most anticipated of the upcoming openings!

If you're kind enough to share your thoughts, let me know why you recommend the currently-open show or why you're looking forward to the show that's opening soon!

My window is: September 17-28.


Here's everything I could find of interest at Playbill...


CURRENTLY OPEN/IN PREVIEWS:
- Drunk Shakespeare
- Empire The Musical
- The Infinite Wrench
- Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo (New World Stages)
- Little Shop of Horros (Westide Theatre)
- Sleep No More (The McKittrick Hotel)
- Speakeasy Magick (The McKittrick Hotel)
- Sump'n Like Wings (Mint Theater)
- Table 17 (MCC Theater)
- Titanique: Une Parodie Musicale (Daryl Roth Theatre)



SCHEDULED TO BEGIN PREVIEWS BY SEPT:
- Age is a Feeling (Vineyard Theatre)
- Ain't Done Bad (Pershing Sq. Signature Center)
- The Beacon (Irish Repertory Theatre)
- The Big Gay Jamboree (Orpheum Theatre)
- Blood of the Lamb (59E59 Theater A)
- The Counter (Roundabout Theatre)
- Counting and Cracking (NYU Skirball - Public Theater)
- Distant Thunder (A.R.T./NY Theatres)
- Fatherland (NY City Center)
- Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song (Theater 555)
- The Ghost of John McCain (Soho Playhouse)
- Good Bones (The Public Theater)
- Hold On To Me Darling (Lucille Lortel)
- Medea: Re-Versed (Sheen Center)
- Our Class (Classic Stage Company)
- Pretty Perfect Lives (The Flea)
- See What I Wanna See (154 Christopher Street)
- Vladimir (NY City Center)
- The Wind and the Rain (Waterfront Barge Museum)
- The Witness Room (AMT Theater)


Going off of prior experiences, I'd say, right now, Good Bones is at the top of my list because Fat Ham (from the same playwright and director) was one of my favorite theatre experiences of the past 10 years. Note: I did intentionally leave off a couple of shows that I will have zero interest in (ex: Blue Man Group), but please feel free to suggest anything not listed here. I also can't see anything that's closing in early September so I left a few of those (like N/A) off.
