I'm always grateful to the suggestions of the BWW community. 
Here's my schedule for my upcoming visit. Anything that is "Probable" can be replaced by another show. The only catch is that I am dirt poor and can only afford student rush tickets (or forfeit seeing two shows to TKTS one show). I used to be a TDF member but it just expired and I can't renew it in time.
Saturday, March 1
2:30 - DEAD MAN'S CELLPHONE [Locked]
8:00 - NEXT TO NORMAL [Probable]
Sunday, March 2
3:00 - AUGUST: ORAGE COUNTY [Student Rush the matinee]
7:00 - ALTAR BOYZ [Probable]
Monday, March 3
8:00 - GYPSY [Locked]
Tuesday, March 4
8:00 - [Student Rush a show]
Shows that I haven't seen:
[Off-Bway I have seen CRIMES OF THE HEART and FORBIDDEN BWAY]
A BRONX TALE
A CATTERED AFFAIR
COME BACK, LITTLE SHEBA
THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION
GREASE
IN THE HEIGHTS
IS HE DEAD?
NOVEMBER
PASSING STRANGE
SOUTH PACIFIC
SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
THE 39 STEPS
THE HOMECOMING
THE LITTLE MERMAID
THE SEAFARER
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

i haven't actually done it, but the next to normal rush is dicey at best. they don't reserve the seats, so you only get them to $10 if no one else has taken them, they have a lot of subscribers the theater isn't that big, and for 15 dollars more you can get advance youth tickets.
if you really want to see normal that night, i would plan on getting a youth advance ticket now. and i think it's definitely worth it.

I'd pick HOMECOMING, SEAFARER or SUNDAY....
From what you're already seeing tho, I'd bet you'd prefer HEIGHTS, AFFAIR or 39 STEPS

Posted: 2/8/08 at 2:14pmDefinitely Sunday. Passing Strange is interesting too. Next to Normal has been selling really, really well. So I would get those ahead of time.

Posted: 2/8/08 at 3:53pmThanks, all. I also forgot about CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF. Perhaps it'll be worth checking out? I've wanted to see Anika Noni Rose perform live for a long, long time. And all the other talent in that show, too, makes me curious. If it's bad, it'd be an awful disappointment, however...

Posted: 2/8/08 at 4:06pmSunday in the Park With George is really good. Front mezzanine are the best seats for this show.

Posted: 2/8/08 at 4:17pmCAT would be worth it just to see Jones on stage...Rose was quite good in CAROLINE, but not as good as Chandra WIlson!

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 2/8/08 at 4:20pmHaven't seen the revival of Sunday but I hear it is good. I would see that and The Homecoming. I really enjoyed The Homecoming. But I told a friend, don't see August: Osage and the Homecoming back to back. You'll need therapy!!!!
Just give the world Love.
