Now That (Almost) All Shows Have Begun Previews...

...which play should I see? Sorry to have started another thread, but all the other ones pretty much had responses of Good People (which I've seen) or War Horse (which will be hard to get a ticket to and I really don't have a ton of interest in seeing...). So I'm looking mainly at Jerusalem, Bengal Tiger, Born Yesterday, High, MotherF*cker with the Hat. I want to stay on Broadway, and have a show with a reasonable rush/lotto. I'm overall looking for quality, but would go with a decent comedy over a decent drama. For other context, I have seen (as I said before) Good People, Priscilla, Catch Me, Anything Goes and Mormon already this season, as well as How to Succeed soon. I'd go with a musical if there's a good one I'm missing, but I figure the above plays are the best options. Advice appreciated! Thanks! :)

Would highly recommend Warhorse. I've seen most of your other choices (not yet Jerusalem or Born Yesterday). Liked Bengal Tiger and Motherfu*ker with the Hat, but would recommend Bengal Tiger more. Hearing reports from Born Yesterday, though, I think you'd get a decent comedy. It's definitely at the top of my list when I get a free evening!

Just saw Born Yesterday last night. I commented in the thread about the show. Right now, it is worth it for Nina Ariada and for Belushi in the first two acts. (He lost steam last night in Act III). Also really enjoyed MF With the Hat. Both are in previews and it is actually hard to pick just one as they both had things I enjoyed. But if I really had to, I would go with Born Yesterday as you will most likely see a Tony Nominated performance from Arianda. She was flawless.

Also, you should check out some off-Broadway shows. Some good stuff playing and I can't wait for "And By the Way, Meet Vera Stark".
