Bridge and tunnel (often abbreviated B&T or BNT) began as a pejorative term for people who commute into Manhattan from surrounding communities. Controversy exists over whether this term extends to all individuals outside of Manhattan or rather outside the area served by the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a trip that, due to Manhattan's geography, requires passing over a bridge and/or through a tunnel in a car. It is used for the other New York City boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island – but especially used in reference more for those who travel into the city from New Jersey and Long Island.
Bridge & Tunnel is a critically acclaimed one-woman Broadway show, in which all of the roles are performed by stage actress Sarah Jones. Jones explores the diverse immigrant makeup of the New York City boroughs outside Manhattan by playing a variety of different characters, each of a different race. The play comprises a series of monologues, in which each character takes the stage during a poetry reading and ends up talking about his or her life.
The play premiered Off-Broadway at the 45 Bleecker Street Theater on February 19, 2004 and closed on August 15, 2004. It won the 2003-04 Obie Award, Outstanding Performance. The play opened on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre on January 13, 2006 in previews, officially on January 26, 2006, and closed on August 6, 2006 after 213 performances. The play won the 2006 Tony Award Special Tony Award.
