I love NYC. All of these great shows are taking place this summer. Oh, and they're all free...

This is culled from a bunch of places and really is just a reference for me. Well, and for you to drool over. This doesn't include Shakespeare in the Park or a bunch of really interesting theater pieces taking place in downtown parks nor a bunch of amazing Met performances in the Park.
