The first one is "Broadway Musical" as you may know, all theaters are in the Theater District near Broadway in Midtown which usually have more than 500 seats, in terms of its size, bigger. The second category is "Off Broadway". You can imagine by its name, this category shows that most of those theaters are away from (=off) Broadway and provides rather avant-garde or experimental programs in mostly 100-499 seats big theaters. The third one is "Off-Off Broadway". The category started because "Off Broadway" became famous and bigger then lost their original purpose, "Not stick to the recognition from the public". Mostly the theater has less than 100 seats and sometimes performed in non-theater spaces.
