It's obvious to claim that Broadway is a commercial enterprise. I've always thought of off-Broadway as more experimental and ground breaking than most Broadway revues, but they are hardly properly marketed in the New York scene. Playwrights and composers often find the Great White Way the ultimate goal. However, with the new respect for off-Broadway productions, perhaps that is the new place to see the new frontiers of theatre and the new place to get connected.
