Looking for rec: Godot vs Art vs Other

Have one opening during our trip. The prices for Godot and Art for the Wednesday matinee 10/15 are not as bad. Wondering what people would choose? 
 

I was also contemplating Little Bear Ridge Road or even Versailles, but people are seeming pretty lukewarm on these. 
 

Favorite plays, if it helps for context, the most recent revivals of A View from the bridge, the Jitney, Enemy of the People, Long day’s Journey, BAM’s Streetcar. Loved John Proctor.

 

Thanks in advance!

I just saw Liberation has a matinee on Wednesday.  I would highly recommend that play. Wouldn’t recommend Art, haven’t seen Godot.

I haven't seen Art and do not recommend Little Bear, it's not a good play with some atrocious acting by the main male lead. Haven't seen Liberation yet but will soon.

I do recommend Godot, although it's been divisive. I love the play itself and thought Alex Winter was fantastic, as well as supporting actors who play Lucky and Pozzo. Keanu's performance was exactly what you'd expect from Keanu's performance. No more, no less.

I'm a fan of Jamie Lloyd previous work, so if you are too, go. The set and the sound design are jaw dropping. Tickets become much cheaper closer to the performance day.
