The Christmas Gods blessed me with winning a rush seat in the 3rd row, center orchestra and I am so very grateful. This is definitely in my top 5 favorites for the year. What a thrilling, well executed ride with acting I will never forget. Truly a must-see!  Manville is Tony bound for sure.

I doubt anyone needs a dissenting opinion, but after seeing this on Friday I cannot say I consider it a "must see." Both Strong and Manville are perfectly excellent, but I found the adaptation to be uninspired and lacking any wit or bite. Go for some good acting. Do not go if you're looking for a good play.

Interesting. After seeing all Broadway plays from this season (except Art, just didn't pan out), I thought Oedipus is the only truly must see play of this fall. Everything else so far is skippable. Maybe Liberation deserves to be seen also. Having very high hopes for Bug. 

Come to think of it, Oedipus was at the bottom of my list in September. Thank God I saw it. A true masterpiece imo

I haven't really enjoyed a single play on Broadway this season. I really enjoyed quite a few Off-Broadway (Cartozians, Queens, Other Americans.) I saw Liberation during its off-broadway run and very much disliked it. Oedipus and Little Bear kind of sit tied for me (underwhelming plays with really excellent performances) I want to also clarify that I will not be attending Marjorie Prime by choice, but I don't doubt that the performances are probably great.
