Does anyone have any personal recommendations for off-broadway shows that are running right now? I'm seeing "...Spelling Bee" and "A Number" this weekend...I recently saw Bug, White Chocolate, The Baltimore Waltz, Souvenir...I have tickets for Fat Pig and CANNOT get tickets to Doubt...On top of these -- anyone have anything they've seen that they really recommend?

Corine - I would LOVE to see Trying, but I believe it closed on January 2nd (with everything else in the world)

Margo -- thanks for the recommendations. You rock my world. I'm trying to snag HurlyBurly tickets and will look into As You Like It!

That is a shame. It was brilliant. Then check out a one woman show called Belfast Blues. I saw it yesterday and i was very impressed.

Here's a nice article from today's Times featuring an interview with Peter Hall and his daughter Rebecca, who'll be repeating her acclaimed performance as Rosalind at BAM (this production played before in the West End to critical and audience raves):

Margo:

Let me know how As You Like It is, that show is coming to the Ahmanson in LA.

would love to see HurlyBurly, but, alas, I live on the Left Coast. Let me know how that is too.

See Spelling Bee if you want to laugh your a** off.
I'm still working on my review.
