What to see: Sunday matinee & Monday eve

Posted: 1/23/09 at 3:04pm

I will be in NY from January 30 until February 5 to see shows. All my theatre slots are booked except for the Sunday matinee and the Monday evening. And I'm having trouble deciding what to see.

Basically I'm considering these: Uncle Vanya, August: OC, Little Mermaid (just to see Heidi as Ursula), Celebrity Autobiography, 39 Steps, The Fantasticks, Forbidden Broadway and You're Welcome America.

Any opinions? Thanks, everyone! :)

DEFINITELY August.

And 39 Steps.


Not much plays on Monday nights, though.

Thanks. I'd love to see August: OC. But now that you mentioned the long running time... I realised that it won't fit into my schedule. If the show starts at 3pm, it'll end around 6:20pm. And I'm seeing Mamma Mia! (I knoooooow, hehe) at 7pm, so that seems a little risky. re: What to see: Sunday matinee & Monday eve

August is leaps and bounds a better show. Not even in the same ballpark.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt that for a second. I got my Mamma Mia ticket months ago on a whim after seeing the movie. And I had no idea that my theatre slots would fill up so quickly.

I may try seeing both. I'll sprint to the Winter Garden and if I'm too late, then so be it...

Thanks again!

You will have NO problem getting to Mamma Mia. You'll have time to grab a bite at one of the fast food places on the way, too.

As for the other show, I'd recommend Forbidden Broadway, then 39 Steps.

However, it looks like the only Monday shows are Avenue Q, Chicago, and Phantom.

August Osage County and Avenue Q. Have fun!

Thanks, everyone. I've already seen Avenue Q on Broadway and I'm seeing the London production next month, so I prefer to see something else. I am most likely going for A:OC on Sunday and Forbidden Broadway on Monday.

Edited to add: how's orchestra, seat F1 for A:OC?
