Broadway has sold almost 12 million tickets this year, and if last year’s statistics are any indication, more than 60% of them were probably sold to tourists.

But New Yorkers still have time to attend one of the 36 Broadway shows currently playing, or any of the dozens of Off and Off-Off-Broadway plays available.

That's a lot of theater to choose from, so we gathered three theater critics and asked them to pick the two plays you must see before the year is over.
