#1What Play Do You Recommend?
Posted: 3/30/07 at 3:27pmI already have tickets for Spring Awakening next Friday but I may want to see a play on Saturday. Journey's End was recommended to me already, but does anyone have other suggestions? Also has anyone seen Talk Radio? I loved Liev in GGR.

JOURNEY'S END is thrilling, profound theatre. You might also enjoy PRELUDE TO A KISS--which is less intense.
Although Liev gives a powerhouse performance in TALK RADIO, it's just not a great play.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 3:31pmTALK RADIO is very good, as is INHERIT THE WIND, but nothing on or off Broadway right now can touch JOURNEY'S END.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 3:32pmMy parents recently saw Talk Radio, and they are extremely picky about plays. They adored it. I would also suggest Inherit the Wind. I love that play and have heard that this production is fantastic.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 3:33pmI also love INHERIT THE WIND. Great play, and very "now", believe it or not!

This month these are the plays I have seen:
SPALDING GREY: STORIES LEFT TO TELL
SOME MEN
SEALED FOR FRESHNESS
PRELUDE TO A KISS
25 QUESTIONS FOR A JEWISH MOTHER (which is closed already, but i did see it so it goes on the list :))
And so out of that list I would recommend SPALDING GREY, followed by SOME MEN. I was lukewarm about PRELUDE TO A KISS, but I really did not like SEALED FOR FRESHNESS- completely skipable.
But I can't wait to see FROST/NIXON- everyone I know who saw it in London *raved* about it, it's next on my list.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 3:40pmThe best play on Broadway right now (and yes, i've seen all of them) is, by far, INHERIT THE WIND. Brilliant.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 5:17pmI know you say it was already suggested, but I have to implore you once again to go see JOURNEY'S END along with some others on here. Are you getting the picture yet?

Posted: 3/30/07 at 5:22pmJourney's End, great seats are available for all performances and the show is the best thing I have ever seen in the theatre for years!

I can't recommend this show enough - it's an AMAZING production and sadly won't hang out for much longer.

Didn't Sealed for Freshness close last night anyway?
I am hearing "Journey's End" is the play to see. And according to one of the actor's website, it may close soon. I hope not because a graduate, John Behlmann, from last year's National Theatre Conservatory's graduating class is in it. I saw him here in Denver in his final show and he is very good.

Posted: 3/30/07 at 6:10pmThanks so much for all your help. It really depends on family commitments, but I think I can squeeze in Journey's End. A trusted friend said I must see it!
