Hi! I've been browsing this forum for a couple of months and think it's great. I have a question for anyone who would like to respond. My family and I are thinking of seeing a show on Easter Sunday. We'd like to see a play. Do you think Brooklyn Boy is worth seeing before it closes? We're also interested in The Glass Menagerie and Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?. Thanks for your help!

Can I interest you in a musical?!

But really, The Glass Menagerie is a play that I am very much looking forward to seeing.

Don't discourage people from seeing plays!!!

Musicals are great and all, but straight plays can sometimes be more fulfilling than a musical.

Isn't "straight play" an oxymoron?

Okay, maybe I'm just slow, but I don't see it. Feel free to explain.

"Brooklyn Boy" is a phenomenal play. I haven't seen "The Glass Menagerie" or "Virginia Woolf" yet, but I'm sure that they are very good, too.

Virginia Wolff is great. But it's very heavy, yet funny. It's Albee - which means you should know what you're getting into before seeing any of his shows. (The film with Liz Taylor and Sandy Dennis was on the other night)

As for the Glass Menagerie. It's pretty simple. Tennesse Williams. You can't really go wrong with that. But I find his work to be too low key for me.

I can't comment on Brooklyn Boy because it does not appeal to me.

I hear Doubt is good.

"Doubt" is amazing, as is "Democracy".

I loved "The Glass Menagerie" and am a big fan of Tennessee Williams' work, so I would definitely recommend seeing that

See "Virginia Woolf." Nothing like an Albee play to brighten up your Easter Sunday :)

I know someone who has seen Brooklyn Boy and GM--they enjoyed BB, GM not so much (they called it a poor production.)

I know someone who saw "Woolf" in Boston, and liked it very much. Hope that helps.
