I'll be in New York for a week (Oct 12-1...already seeing both parts of the Inheritance on the 16th/17th, respectively. I want 1 or 2 more shows on my schedule, but can't decide. Looking to do only straight plays (no pun intended) this go-round, so looking at To Kill a Mockingbird maybe...but more interested in newer productions. Height of the Storm seems to be the stand-out for me, as it would be a dream to see both Jonathan and Eileen perform in person, but I'm open to other suggestions. Throw them at me!!
I always tend to favor seeing musicals over plays so I've seen very few plays, so can't give you much of an opinion.
The only play that I have seen that is still open is Harry Potter (part 1 and 2), the story is just decent in my opinion, but the show is quite a spectacle (not sure if for plays there is the same notion of "book" as with a musical). I would still recommend it, as there are some really awesome effects and acting. The show is very entertaining.
Also wanted to see To Kill a Mockingbird when I was in town but tickets were too expensive.
