I will be in NYC the first week in June for my tri-annual NYC Theater trip (last visit was in January 2011). I thought I had all my slots filled, but I think I may pass on House of Blue Leaves and (possibly) IHO at the Public. I thought House would be absurdist humor but sounds kind of dull and IHO just seems like an excruciating marathon.
I am seeing:
Sister Act
Book of Mormon
Anything Goes
Catch Me if you Can
War Horse
Priscilla
Normal Heart
From my prior NYC trips, I have seen almost everything (aside from those listed for this trip) and possibly have 2 slots to fill from the following list:
Jerusalem (not very hyped about this one)
Bengal Tiger (ditto on the not hyped)
M***f with the Hat
Importance of Being Ernest
Good People (would LOVE to see this but it will be closed before I get there)
I have seen pretty much everything else on Broadway. Other options would be something off-Bway (like the Sleep No More). Any suggestions? Or - does anyone want to talk me into liking IHO despite the wildly divergent opinions on this site and on NYTimes site?
PS - I also have tickets for People in the Picture (passing on that) and Wonderland (passing on that as well). And before anyone wonders how I can pass on shows I paid good $$$ for, I prefer to enjoy my vacation. Dont usually blow off this many shows, but this year was quite unusual in that way.
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
