We arrived in NYC Friday AM and left Sunday after the matinee:
subwayed from lower Manhattan to Lincoln center TKTS on Friday, arrived just after 11, hoping for shorter lines than Times Square. Lines were shorter, but only two active windows meant 75thnin line or so took about a hour. Inside the building for most of the time helped.
Bought Piano Lesson for matinee and Strange Loop for evening. Piano Lesson was tremendous, we love all of Wilson’s plays. Loop was very good with excellent songs and performances, I wasn’t as thrilled with the way the story moved
Saturday AM we went to the express line at Times Square and bought Leopoldstat for Saturday night (we already owned Funny Girl matinee tix) and Topdog/Underdog for Sunday matinee.
Funny Girl and Julie Benko filling in was very good and lots of fun as expected.
I am not a Stoppard fan, but enough people told me I’d like this show more than the prior ones I had seen that I gave it a chance, and I did like it more, but didn’t love it. Topdog is an excellent play, we preferred the prior production but this is definitely worth seeing
