Show Advice - Miracle Worker or God Of Carnage?

I'm in NYC this week on a visit from London.

I already have most of my schedule planned out, but I have room for one more show.

It's currently between God Of Carnage or the Miracle Worker. What would people advise? I'm big fans of Lucy Liu and Abigail Breslin so I'm pretty torn.

Any advice is appreciated!

Miracle Worker, if you could see it before it closes on Sunday. I thought Abigail did a great job in her role, as well as Allison and the rest of the cast.

I guess it depends on whether you are a bigger fan of Lucy or Abigail, Abigail is arguably objectively better in her show than Lucy is in hers, but I think God of Carnage is a better overall experience and play than Miracle Worker.

God of Carnage. The new cast is worth it.

I agree with quitetheatrical23 and bjh2114. I liked Abigail Breslin in The Miracle Worker, but LOVED all of the new cast members in God Of Carnage. See God of Carnage.

God of Carnage...or Next Fall, or anything really...having seen both, I can say there is little mystery as to why MW is closing

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I decided to try the lotto for Miracle Worker and if I didn't win, I'd see God of Carnage - sort of leaving it up to fate.

My name was first called at the lotto so I guess Miracle Worker was meant to be - thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

Anyone know how long the current God of Carnage cast are contracted til? I'll hopefully be back in July and would love it if Lucy Liu were still there.

I think they're contracted for 6 months, provided the show doesn't close. The theater was 1/3 empty when I saw it Wednesday night, which can't be a good sign.

I'd go with God of Carnage. I'm seeing it in a few weeks and couldn't be more excited. I've heard raves about this new cast (many saying they're as good, if not better than the OBC).
