The theatergoers who have made Mr. Leveaux's production a palpable hit are unlikely to be similarly befuddled, since Rosencrantz is portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe, who became world famous as the more proactive title character of the "Harry Potter" movies before he proved his stage chops.

Early in the run, ushers politely told theatergoers that if they wanted a festival program, they could find one in the first-floor lobby — not the most helpful response if you're two stories up at the time, and stymieing given the scarcity of booklets down there.

Theatergoers are divided into different teams (according to the color of wrist bands issued before the show begins) and ushered through a series of meticulously imagined rehearsal spaces, recording studios, cosmetic analysis rooms and a theater-cum-bar, where we are allowed to observe the finished product.

" As Loomer approaches the stage, Posobiec yells and gestures toward his fellow theatergoers, calling them Nazis, likening them to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and seemingly blaming the production for Wednesday's mass shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, by screaming, "The blood of Steve Scalise is on your hands!

New York theatergoers will have a chance to see a new production of the first professionally staged play by Richard Bean ("One Man, Two Guvnors") when his 1999 play "Toast," based on his experience working in a bread factory at age 18, is presented at 59E59 Theaters in April.

Warren Manzi, a playwright whose Off Broadway thriller, "Perfect Crime," remains the longest-running play in New York theater history — nearly 2212 years and counting — despite the fact that critics often did not like it and theatergoers often did not understand it, died on Thursday in Lawrence, Mass.

In 1988, when "Eastern Standard" first landed the playwright on Broadway, his characters would have been called yuppies, and Greenberg their foremost chronicler; since then, many theatergoers have taken to calling them — and Greenberg — "privileged," a word that the playwright himself avoids, even as it's become common American vernacular.

"There were millions of readers — immigrants eager to learn English, housewives hunting for sales, job seekers, theatergoers, men in gray flannel suits commuting from the suburbs each morning," Mara Bovsun wrote in "Big Town, Big Time: A New York Epic, 1898-1998," a compilation of articles from The News.

In between swigs of booze, Lee recounts his hectic childhood and gradually peels off layers of history, while simultaneously building up the apparition of Blanche — theatergoers familiar with Tennessee Williams's "A Streetcar Named Desire" will easily pick up the trail of bread crumbs dropped by Mr. Jacobs's book.

In the nearly three-hour run time, theatergoers follow Arnold from nights at a backroom bar (leading to some of the funniest physical comedy I've seen recently) to weekends away with his ex, to —finally — the real wallop of emotion: a visit from his mother (the perfect and powerful Mercedes Ruehl).

Duncan Jones has gotten more ambitious with each film he makes: His low-budget 2009 debut "Moon" enamored him to sci-fi geeks; 2011's "Source Code," starring Jake Gyllenhaal, delighted both critics and theatergoers; this week, he's promoting "Warcraft," a big-budget adaptation of the long-running video game series.

It has always carried the thrill of seeing something illicit, from the days when the reveal of the Phantom of the Opera's face caused viewers to shriek to when The Exorcist played up the fact that some theatergoers couldn't handle it as a way to almost dare people into going.

Barbara Zinn Krieger, who wrote the script, and Jonathan Shmidt Chapman, who devised the staging, have expanded the song's premise, inventing a voyage in which theatergoers can blow on a sail, make waves, meet royalty, dine at a pretend banquet, have a mock pillow fight, sing and ultimately help a king find rest.

Written by Mara McEwin and presented by the troupe Treehouse Shakers, this production for the youngest theatergoers — infants to 6-year-olds — uses dance, storytelling and handmade puppets to recreate the experience of a chick breaking out of its shell and encountering other animals, including a rooster, a calf, a lamb and baby birds.

Written by Matti Kovler and Aya Lavie, with an English translation by Spencer Garfield, and produced by the company Floating Tower, the show leads young theatergoers through various environments in the Blue Building in Manhattan, where they'll encounter creatures like merrily singing lice, a chatty troll and a bad-tempered ogre called the Evil Humm.

As the festival continues into the week, theatergoers have the opportunity to enjoy the works of groups like the Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble's The Art of Luv (Part 1), which uses barely watched YouTube videos as source material, and DarkMatter's #ItGetsBitter, a dismantling of gender binary conformities and racial disparities within the LGBT equality movement.

Just as some theatergoers prefer black box productions to Broadway spectacles, and some cinephiles prefer low-budget indies to Hollywood blockbusters, a growing number of operagoers are flocking to smaller spaces to hear new and unusual works up close, often sung by young singers with voices that would not be large enough to fill big houses.

A new generation of theatergoers knew Ms. Shelley for originating a less sympathetic character in the musical "Wicked," a prequel of sorts to L. Frank Baum's novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The show opened in 2003 with Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, the putatively good witch, and Idina Menzel as Elphaba, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West.

Performed in contemporary costumes on a stage whose workings were fully exposed, the production successfully created a temporary community of the theatergoers, as in the multiday theater festivals in ancient Athens, seducing the audience with superb acting, free food, wit, and lively video projections, and diving into the weighty themes that have made these stories timeless.

For a jukebox musical, it has attracted an unusually high-profile cast, including a "Rent"-certified heartthrob (Adam Pascal), a "Xanadu" and "Rock of Ages" veteran (Kerry Butler) and two Tony Award winners (Roger Bart and Faith Prince) — who, like everyone else connected with the show, are counting on theatergoers wanting to relive a cultural moment many people would just as soon forget.

Mr. Albee's Broadway debut, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" the famously scabrous portrait of a withered marriage, won a Tony Award in 1963 for best play, ran for more than a year and half and enthralled and shocked theatergoers with its depiction of stifling academia and of a couple whose relationship has been corroded by dashed hopes, wounding recriminations and drink.

As many theatergoers will by now have guessed, this woozy figure, an actress by the name of Dotty Otley, here played by the glorious Andrea Martin, is smack in the dizzying middle of "Noises Off," the heady, headlong and (sorry, alliteration haters) altogether hilarious farce by Michael Frayn, which opened on Thursday at the American Airlines Theater, providing generous doses of heat-generating laughter as the winter chill finally sets in.

The show, like most Broadway ventures, is an expensive gamble: in this case, a $14 million bet that what was once a wild night of bar-side storytelling (in its first incarnation, the show provided free vodka at every table) can retain its sense of intimacy and authenticity in a vastly expanded space while broadening its appeal beyond adventurous theatergoers to the tourists who sustain commercially successful musicals.
