Hi, I know this may sound like two shows that are SO different. But I am going to NY for a week and seeing some shows. So far, I only have tickets to 3 Penny Opera. I would like to see the best of the best that week. Most productions are dark on Monday. Any ideas? I have only found Wedding Singer and Festen. Let me know.

Advance word on Wedding Singer is mixed at best, while the response to Festen in London was across the board raves -- both from critics and audiences. No contest -- Festen

Festen is going to be astonishing. It's a fantastic play and they've assembled a killer cast.

FESTEN is one of the best evenings I've ever spent in the theatre. Disturbing, thought-provoking, darkly funny. I have no idea of the B'way cast will be able to match the UK cast, but here's hoping!

I plan to see Festen while I am in New York. Killer cast.
