Two scenarios I need help with!

The Bands Visit or Once on This Island?
Iceman Cometh or Skintight

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Band's Visit vs. Once on This Island is a really tough call. I think if I HAD to pick I'd say Once On This Island, but just by hair, though many will probably say Band's Visit is the better option. 

As for Skintight vs. Iceman Cometh. I say go with Iceman Cometh 100%. No question. I mean ok we don't know much about Skintight yet, so we can't really judge it. But we have Idina, an adequate actor known mostly for musical theatre, starring in a new Off-Broadway play at a theatre company with a plunging reputation. And then we have Denzel Washington, one of the great stage and screen actors of his generation, playing an iconic role in one of the pillars of western drama, directed by the highly acclaimed George C. Wolfe.

Unless you are vehemently opposed to the play itself (it might be worth reading if you haven't already), and as long as you're willing to buckle in for a lengthy evening of theatre, I say Iceman is a no-brainer.

The Band’s Visit

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

The Band's Visit.

Yes, OOTI is said to be a great the, but it's done all around the country and you could see a very good local production. TBV is unique and one of a kind.
