it does! I would also see, "...streetcar..." with people like John C. Riley and Natasha Richardson, it should be amazing!

i would see doubt or 12 angry men. i would never see spamalot. spelling bee, piazza, dessa rose (depending on when you're going). little women. they're all worth it over spamalot.

I would recommend "THE PILLOWMAN", hands down. It's like nothing else on Broadway and it will certainly stay with you for a long time after you see it -- truly an incredible production.

The Pillowman, no question. Doubt may have won the Pulitzer, but The Pillowman is what people are going to be talking about this season.

I haven't seen Pillowman yet but I'll give a nod to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf...plus, it's 3 hours...that's alot of bang for your buck. :)

If you only have time for one play - yes DOUBT should be your choice. ON GOLDEN POND is also highly recomended.

"Wicked"

The initial poster asked what PLAY he should see.

I would opt for either "Streetcar" or "Steel Magnolias."
