Oslo or The Price?

I'll be in the city in two weeks. I have room to see one more play to round out the other musicals I am seeing during my visit. I've narrowed it down to Oslo or The Price. Oslo because of its material and The Price due to its cast. Would the fine folks here suggest which one I should see?  Please feel free to make other recommendations.

Oslo. No contest.

Agreed. Oslo, with a doubt. The Price has a fine cast but Oslo is a superior production. I also highly recommend A Doll's House Pt. 2 which has a knockout cast in a succinct and effective production or The Little Foxes for the two lead actresses in a sublime revival. If you want to see the Pulitzer Prize winner and probable Tony winner, Sweat is also good albeit not my favorite compared to the previously mentioned productions. I would recommend all of the above before The Price personally, and DHP2/Sweat are good candidates for rush tickets if you can fit them into your schedule. Any way, it is an amazing season for plays and you cannot go wrong!

Sticking to the two plays you asked about, I liked both but I would go with Oslo.

I too recommend ADHP2 over The Price.

Thanks for the recommendations.  Looks like its Oslo then.  If only some of these plays are available as Thursday matinees, they would definitely fill that spot.  As it is, I may have to fill that spot with "Cagney".

Yes to OSLO. And Cagney is worth visiting.
