Ok, so I might be making a trip to the city on the 6th or 7th of December, and I was wondering what ONE show people would recommend I see. Keep in mind I would be going to TKTS (or Student Rush). Shows that are on that I have already seen are Equus and Spamalot, and I already have tickets to Billy Elliot. Things I am interested in seeing are American Buffalo, Young Frankenstein, Boeing-Boeing, maybe Shrek...but I don't know, and I am definitely open to suggestions outside of these. Thanks!

Of the ones you're interested in, I would say Shrek. :) I found it totally charming.

I would recommend Boeing-Boeing and Speed-the-Plow.

I'm a fan of shows with dashes in the title.

My Top 5 Choices:
(in no particular order)
AMERICAN BUFFALO (Mamet's masterwork performed with such grace by stars Leguizamo, the Entertainer and Osment - Strictly limited engagement!)

BOEING-BOEING (Non-Stop Hilarity - Mark Rylance is GOLD!)

IN THE HEIGHTS ('08 TONY Winner for BEST MUSICAL)

SPEED-THE-PLOW (Solid all the way around - GREAT chemistry!)

SHREK (Though I have yet to see it, it's getting super-great reviews on here and elsewhere!)

Of the ones mentioned on your list Id say go See Speed the Plow. The writing is phenominal and esparza steals the show. I do however say if your willing to see something not on your list go see Gypsy. It was for me the greatest performances I will ever see on broadway. All 3 starts give definitive turns in iconic roles.

I am definitely willing to see something not on my list, and I have heard nothing but great things for Gypsy. I know nothing about the show personally, what is it about?

Definitely GYPSY !!!! One of the greatest, old-fashioned Broadway classics, with a legendary performance by Patti and 3 TONY awards for acting !!! You'll be really sorry if you miss it, trust me, it's mindblowing !!!

I don't know if you are a fan, but maybe think about LIZA'S AT THE PALACE. If I had one thing to see on the days you are there, that would be it! In fact, if I hadn't just bought a Wii yesterday, I would probably be buying tickets for a trip up there to see her!

GYPSY is an excellent suggestion too...for all the reasons given.
