Streetcar, Woolf, or Menagerie?

I too get annoyed with these threads, but I figured I'd give it a try:

Some friends and I will be in the city in June and we already have tickets to one show, and now have two open slots. We decided we'd see one play and have narrowed it down between A Streetcar Named Desire, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and The Glass Menagerie.

I'm a huge fan of Natasha, Kathleen, and Jessica, so this is hell trying to choose.

Any suggestions? And try not to suggest Doubt, Pillowman, or any other plays. We definitely know we want to see one of the aforementioned titles. Thanks!

All things being equal, the WOOLF production is arguably the strongest overall in most respects.

Yeah, I added Woolf. I completely forgot about it until after I posted.

Thanks for your input, everyone.

I adored both VIRGINIA WOOLF and STREETCAR. This production of MENAGERIE is muddled, but it's worth seeing for Sarah Paulson's incredible Laura (probably the best Laura I have ever seen on-stage). Of the three, I'd go with STREETCAR.

MEF, when did you see STREETCAR? I saw it early on and thought it was one of the most dreadful, boring productions I'd seen in years.

Did not see Menagerie

I thought Woolf & Streetcar were both excellant with Woolf having a slight edge. How Richardson did not get a nomination (along with the production) while her co star did amazes me ?

I'd say Streetcar. It'd be nice to actually see a live production of it rather than the movie (which is one of my faves). I never seen it, but I plan to see it with my dad soon.
