I know its an old show.... but I have never seen it. Is it worth seeing when I am in town?
Define "worth seeing".

worth seeing = something I should spend a Monday night seeing while in NYC.

i saw it on new years eve, its not anything utterly amazing, but not a bad piece of off broadway theater
I'll give you an analogy for "Perfect Crime"
Imagine the average next door lady comes to you and says:
"Oh, yeah, I hear you like the theater? I love the theater me'self. Yeah. I'm thinking of putting on a show, y'know, that folks will love. Somethin' funny or a murder mystery or somethin'. Yeah, uh huh, I put it on right in the middle of Times Square, uh huh, right where all the big Broadway shows are playin'. It will run for years, no matter if I have to star in it, be the usher, sell the tickets, I'm doin' this, I tell y'all!"
And of course you'd think "Yeah, right, craaaaazyyy..."
25 years later, awful play produced by lady next door is indeed still running. She stars in it, ushers, sells you tickets and you can't believe your eyes. Awful play is New York's longest running play.
THE END

If you've ever wanted to see what someone on stage who is truly bored looks like, go see it. She gives a master class in how to act and not give a sh*t, it's kind of amazing.
Someone who performs this crap non stop for 25 years must be really depressed.
You know something? You guys actually make me want to go see it!
Go for it. She sells tickets at her lemonade stand outside the theater.
Literally.

I had the misfortune of seeing Perfect Crime a few years ago (cheap ticket/ way to kill a Sunday afternoon). When I got on the elevator to leave, I was next to an older couple. He turned to his wife and said, "The only crime here, is that they took our money for this!"
