In a Nutshell

Performers dance to thumping club tunes on suspended mylar tarp drenched in water while audience members of all ages dance beneath

The Fine Print

Eyes and ears need regular entertainment to keep them from moving to the back of the head in a huff. Keep audiovisual senses happy with this GrouponLive deal: for $39, you get one general-admission, standing-room ticket to Fuerza Bruta at Daryl Roth Theatre (a $79 value). Upon purchase, Groupon buyers can choose from performances on Wednesdays at 8 p.m., Thursdays at 8 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m. or 10:30 p.m., Saturdays at 10 p.m., or Sundays at 7 p.m. (until July 15), or 5 p.m. or 8 p.m. (starting July 22), through August 19.

Set to a soundtrack that ebbs and flows from thumping club tunes to calm New World music, Fuerza Bruta sparks a heated night of eclectic dancing for onlookers of all ages. The performance demolishes the fourth wall, extending the stage over audience members' heads as suspended performers seem to walk on air and climb a Technicolor wall of cloth. Dancers also splish, splash, and trade financial advice on a clear mylar tarp covered in water that dangles from the ceiling. Colorful, flashing lights illuminate the waterlogged body movers while a man bolts through a wall and attendees lose themselves in dance.

Daryl Roth Theatre

It's hard to tell what's going on behind the metal grillwork covering the windows of the building that still bears the name Union Square Savings Bank carved into its stone. That's because of the blackout drapes—the vintage 1840 Greek Revival monolith with 40-foot ceilings has been a theater since 1996, when Daryl Roth took it over and got rid of all the dusty old money inside. The theater producer, who has staged seven Pulitzer-winning plays, has since opened up the unobstructed space to an array of other spectacles.

The Groupon Guide to: Reality Television

The latest fad in watching other people during their private time is watching them through a television. Make your own hit reality show using one selection from each of these categories:

The Star * A Hot Man
* A Hot Woman
* An Old Person Who Used to Be Famous

The Situation * The Man must find someone to mate with
* The Woman must find a way to function in society while still having so much fun
* The Old Person must struggle to stay alive and relevant

The Challenge * All of the Man's potential mates are full of sad, unsexy secrets about their past
* The Woman's friends and life are too fun and silly to accommodate a job
* The Old Person doesn't know about any Internet things and his or her kids don't want to help because it's annoying

Location * A penthouse in Mexico
* A mansion in LA
* A gutter in someone's personal hell
