Hello! I have to choose between going to see Fat Ham or Primary Trust. Would appreciate your opinions.
Thank you!

Logistically, since Primary Trust still has the ability to move to Broadway at some point, I would say Fat Ham. It’s VERY easy to get cheap tickets, closing soon, and seeing this cast really eat into the material (NPI) is an experience you’ll never forget.
(Bias: I’ve seen FH 12 times and counting)

Besides TDF & Rush what would the other options be to get cheap tickets? Mostly sold out on TDF = and todaytix rush is the worst

There isn’t a bad seat in the theatre and the TodayTix Rush has almost always been front row center for me if you get on when it launches.
There are also the side orchestra boxes (I would go house left box since you don’t miss anything extreme stage right) for $38 with the code HAMBBX

If you're a fan of The Good Place, I'd say go with Primary Trust. Fat Ham will be performed around regional theaters for decades to come. And while Saheem Ali did great work on it, the production isn't necessarily the reason to see it. But William Jackson Harper is giving a fantastic performance in Primary Trust (for what it's worth, I also really loved the play itself - but I also love Fat Ham, so it's kind of a wash on that front).
Also, with respect to quizking, I'd be very surprised if Primary Trust moves to Broadway. The current run is selling well enough, but it was papering earlier on, and even now the demand isn't high enough to justify a transfer. Stranger things have happened, for sure, but I'd advise against banking on it.

Both are great! You actually can’t make a mistake either way.

Primary Trust is one of the best things I've seen all year.
