Ticket prices vary with the play/event and performance selected. Range is varied as little as $25 for some plays/performances to about $60-$80 depending on day, seats selected, etc. McCarter Theatre Center has a great easy to use website to answer all your questions.

Easier to travel to and certainly much more cost effective than NYC.
