My dad wants to see a play vs musical, of all of the current shows, can y'all make recommendations? We would prefer ones that may be at TKTS on a weekend.

Whats it about?
Boeing Boeing and November are funny plays and Xanadu and Young Frankenstien are funny musicals. but i'm not sure what's on TKTS :X
Definitely AUGUST...
From AUGUSTONBROADWAY.COM:
"Meet the Westons
A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets.
When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you’ve got a major new Broadway play that unflinchingly – and uproariously – exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family.
Fresh from a thrilling, sold-out run at Chicago’s Tony Award-Winning Steppenwolf Theatre, August: Osage County had audiences riveted and critics raving. This thrilling new play by Pulitzer Prize finalist Tracy Letts (Bug, Killer Joe) has been hailed by The New York Times as “hugely entertaining! A ripsnorter full of blistering, funny dialogue, acid-etched characters and scenes of no-holds-barred emotional combat.” "
There isn't a better play out there than AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY.
It would be a monumental mistake not to see it.
Coolkid,
Google is a powerful thing.
It's rare that a straight play isn't on tkts. You should be fine.
There are a lot of really good discounts for AUGUST floating around online, so if you want to be sure you'll have a good seat for the price, you could look here...:
