I'm still working what shows to see. Boys from OZ being the only one I have made plans for. A trip to NYC wouldn't be complete (I think) without at least seeing one off Broadway show.
Which one do you recommend? Why?

A wonderful off B-way show is "Intimate Apparel" at the Laura Pels Theatre. Its a drama abot a woman who sews ladies "intimate apparel" and those around her. She has a correspondence with a man helping dig the Panama Canal.
Or for something light and fun "Forrbidden Broadway" just alot of fun Broadway revue.

My pick would be "bare". I think it's only $35. Well worth it. Read my review.

Posted: 4/26/04 at 7:36pmI pray that show sticks around long enough for me to see it, or until I find away to get to NYC.

I read the story on "Bare" here on BWW and thought it sounded interesting. I was just wondering if there were any other shows that really grabbed one's interest.
Since "bare" will be there when I'm there, I might have to check it out.
Many thanks, all!
