Coming down for the Thanksgiving holiday and hoping to catch a couple interesting Off Broadway (or Off-Off) productions.

Preferably playing in midtown, as our time is constrained, so getting to/from the Village would be difficult.

We've been much more satisfied with our Off Broadway shows that past year or so than with our On Broadway shows.

Thinking about Good Mother and The Outgoing Tide so far

Thanks!

A CELEBRATION OF HAROLD PINTER is probably the best show running Off-Broadway right now.

The Public's got four shows running: Giant, Wild With Happy, The 27th Man, and Sorry.

Neither of these is really midtown, although the Pinter one looks like we might be able to get there.

Is there really nothing else compelling playing Off B'way over Thanksgiving?

I saw Murder Ballad on Sunday. I enjoyed it. It is playing at the Studio at Stage II, which is in NY City Center up on 55th.

These are both downtown, but they're really easy to get to from the theater district on the subway. I really enjoyed Checkers, the play about the Nixons. It's at the Vineyard Theater in Union Square, just a quick trip on the N, R, or Q train. And I loved Falling, finding it wonderfully acted and very moving. That's in the Village, but very near the West Fourth Street station, accessible on the A, B, C, D, E, F, M.

Falling at the Minetta Lane theater is wonderful, The Whale at Playwrights Horizons is terrific, and so is Disgraced at Lincoln Center, which has extended, if you can get a ticket.

I've heard good things about Checkers at the Vineyard, am seeing Giant and Sorry at the Public this weekend (Sorry has already gotten rave reviews) and will try Good Mother next week at the New Group. Ivanov at Classic Stage is supposed to be great, Wild With Happy at the Public has gotten very good reviews, and I'm hoping to catch Piano Lesson at Signature in the next few weeks. The Friel play, Freedom of the City, at the Irish rep also got excellent reviews, don't know how much longer it's playing though...

There's a ton of good stuff out there!

The Fantasticks plays on West 50th street/Broadway and it's amazing. Right across from Wicked.

Try VANYA and SONYA and MASHA and SPIKE at Lincoln Center. It was a lot of fun.

If you haven't caught TRIBES yet...do.

What's going on off-Broadway?

EVERYTHING!!!!!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I'm very interested in Inner Voices. One of the musicals is written by Martin Moran of Titanic and The Tricky Part. Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster, Arielle Jacobs and Alexandra Silber explore Inner Voices, a collection of three solo musicals, beginning Nov. 10 at the 30th Street Theatre.

Paulette Haupt, who also serves as artistic director of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center's Musical Theatre Conference, is the artistic director of Premieres, which presents the three new musicals. The engagement will officially open Nov. 18 for a run through Dec. 2.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'm having trouble deciding whether to see The Whale, Giant or Murder Ballad. Thoughts?

Outgoing Tide is excellent. Peter Strauss is brilliant! A performance not to be missed.
