Shows To See

Posted: 8/22/05 at 5:44pm

I know there are a lot of these threads, but I really need help. I'll probably be going up to NYC on the 27 and leaving the 28, leaving room for 3 shows. I'll be doing TKTS and lotteries. One is definitley Spelling Bee. I'm up for anything, even if I've already seen it. Thanks!

I'd love to see Light, didn't like DRS as much as I thought I would. I'm glad Light is on tickets though.

I'll also be in the city on the 27th and 28th. Seeing Trailer Park @ 2:00 and maybe DRS or something else @ 8:00 on Sat and Matt's last performance in Piazza @ 3:00 on the 28th.

You definitely try to see Matt b/f he leaves Piazza. The Pillowman is amazing, you MUST see it!

Light in the Piazza, Spelling Bee, and All Shook Up!. And I might replace Speeling Bee with Doubt, if you're into plays... I dunno I'd go for either.

Consider RENT and DRS.
Or, if you like your dramas, try Light in the Piazza instead of DRS.
Or, if you like comedies, try Spamalot instead of RENT.

Enjoy your trip, whatever you see.
