I'm planning to rush or TKTS a show tonight and I was thinking either THE SEAGULL or STP. I've heard pro's and con's about both, so I'm having a tough time deciding. If all of you could give me your opinions, answers, suggestions (i.e. "See this show instead!") that'd be amazing.

Thanks in advance!!

THE SEAGULL was true brilliance on stage...there is no question that you should see THE SEAGULL tonight.

Sorry. I need some more opinions by about 3 because that's when I'm heading out.

I'd vote for The Seagull. Speed-the-Plow was a mess.

As per the TKTS chart at Entertainment Link, The Seagull has not been up this week. So, I think your answer is to go to Speed-the-Plow.
Entertainment Link - TKTS


Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Well, rushing is an option as well. I realized after I posted that The Seagull has yet to appear on TKTS. But TKTS is still an option if I get an overwhelming response to see something else entirely.

Go see The Seagull. Speed-the-Plow was TERRIBLE. From my TDF seat in the rear mezz, I could see tons of people leaving Speed-the-Plow. If I wasn't in the middle of the row, I would've done the same. 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. The Seagull, on the other hand, was at least interesting and the performances were great.

c) none of the above!


I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

I've seen both and a) don't really care to see Equus again and b) I am seeing August tomorrow when my parents come to the city for the weekend.

Speed was great

The Seagull, from a neighbor in our building, was BORING
