Hi! Heading to New York the first few days of July for my bi-annual theatre trip. I'm usually pretty set on my list of shows but this time around feels... difficult?
I have time for four shows. Death of a Salesman and Cats are a lock. I cannot wait to finally see Laurie Metcalf on stage!
29 year old gay guy here. I love plays (loved Liberation, Oedipus, Bug, Stereophonic, Purpose and Appropriate on recent trips). I'm a bit bummed that I'm just missing The Balusters and Becky Shaw which I'm sure I would've enjoyed. I also enjoy musicals but it's looking bleak lol. Death Becomes Her and Ragtime were great!
Proof and Joe Turner's Come and Gone are my other two slots, as of now. I've never seen a production of an August Wilson play. I'm a bit bummed that I'm just missing Kara Young in Proof and a week too early to catch her in The Whoopi Monologues. Anything off-Broadway that I'm missing?
I could do a Thursday matinee of Girl, Interrupted or Rocky Horror, if either are really worth a marathon. I'm more inclined to spend the afternoon checking out Whitney Museum for the first time.
I only trust this board for recs so thank you for always coming through.
