I want to see both Assassins and The Normal Heart, but since they're both limited engagements, I think I only have the time to see one of them.

So let's hear it... help me pick!

I'll use my amazing soothsaying abilities to predict that a majority of the people will say go see Assassins.

ASSASSINS! Neil Patrick Harris is great. Love him on the SWEENEY TODD DVD.

For once me and CATSNY agree, ASSASSINS it is!

NORMAL HEART

I am seeing them both, but I know if I HAD to pick, I would go for NORMAL HEART

well, i'm hoping that Assassins extends, or that some random day frees up in my schedule. There's a small chance I can go to both, but it's looking like I have to choose.

I think ASSASSINS has to get out of the theater at a set time because of renovations, so I wonder if there will be a second extension?

you are more likely to see ASSASSINS staged elsewhere than NORMAL HEART. That being said, both casts for NYC are good draws. Try thinking of it another way: which is more likely to be filmed for posterity? since there are various screen versions of NORMAL HEART already, i think, then seeing that cast live might make more sense. i'm betting this cast of ASSASSINS gets a video of the production made.

There are various screen versions of NORMAL HEART? Where? Larry has been fighting for 20 years -- with Barbra Streisand who owns the rights and others -- to get ONE version made and it still hasn't happenned....

I do agree, this production at the Public will probably be one of the last major professional productions we'll see of this play in NY for quite some time.....

ASSASINS, YAY!

I'd also have a tough time deciding, but as has been posted, Normal Heart will probably not be remounted very soon, if ever, and Assassins probably will. Also, seeing Raul perform is a treat.

Assasins! All the way!

I did, NuggetMonkeys, but I'll take the fact that you posted twice into consideration.

Normal Heart. It'll close sooner, and seeing Raul in that sort of role is quite the experience. Assassins will probably extend, esp. if it does well at the Tonys.
