#1Fall play recommendations?
Posted: 10/10/14 at 8:47pm
I will be heading into the city twice before Thanksgiving and would like to see a few plays in addition to the musicals already on my list but am having a hard time deciding what to prioritize if I can only see 2-3. Ideally I'll be able to return sometime in the first quarter next year but want to get people's thoughts on what I should prioritize if not. Here's what I'm interested in so far and my thought in prioritizing them, any/all recommendations are welcome!
You Can’t Take It With You - Top of my list based on cast/reviews, seems fun
Real Thing - near the top because I'm a roundabout member and I like the cast
A Delicate Balance - Would love to see this cast live
Disgraced - I'm really interested in seeing this and it's supposed to be an open ended run, but will it last?
Curious Incident… - seems like a must see but I have a feeling it will run for a while so might catch it later

I can only narrow it to three for you:
YCTIWY
Disgraced
Curious Incident
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

For me, the cast of A Delicate Balance alone makes it unmissable. It's also one of Albee's best plays, if not his best (I rank it higher than Virginia Woolf, though I'm sure others disagree).
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
