Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

Little Shop is probably my favorite musical. It was so, so great.
This is the oldest Weaseling’s favorite as well. She’s seen it 2-3 times so far. Mrs Wease is wanting to see it when we’re up there in January.
I hope you get the chance. It's a great production. Not sure if the cast will be the same in Jan or not.

Saw Topdog/Underdog last night. Just fucking unreal. It's been one of my favorite plays since I first read it back in the day. But this was the first production I'd seen.

Corey Hawkins and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are both just amazing. Both just completely transform.

This is what theater should be. :heartbeat:

I'm considering seeing several times, which I never do. But $35 for front row seats? Yes please. I think I could watch it every night.

I've been going back to the theatre a lot and my heart is full again. But so many plays!

Saw the new Sarah Ruhl play a couple weeks ago, Death of a Salesman last week and Ohio State Murders tonight. :heartbeat:

Next month I've already got two plays lined up.

We were going to try and see Death of a Salesman when we are there in a couple of weeks, but it ends before our trip.

It was a flawed but powerful production. It's the first time I've fully understood the entire play. Bummer that you'll miss it. Sorry, bud.

I'd tell you to see Ohio State Murders just for Audra McDonald who (all past hyperbole aside) is probably the best actor alive right now. But it also closes on the 15th. :(

We start a play called Pictures from Home on Jan 13th. It's a new play, based on a photo memoire, and has a killer cast. Not sure what the show will be like yet. Hopefully, we'll get a staff invited dress tomorrow so we can get a better grasp on what the play is.

That looks interesting. Let me know how it is. We may make a go of it.

I still haven't seen the whole thing. I was able to see about 20 twenty total minutes of various rehearsals but not the entire show (they cancelled our staff invited dress). But we're selling out and everyone coming out of the theater seems to LOVE it.

What I saw was great. Very moving. Very funny.

Excellent. I think we’re gonna try and see the matinee in two weeks.

Sarah Ruhl's newest piece (Letters from Max, a ritual) is transcendent. It's Off-Broadway (but there isn't an Off-Broadway centric thread that I'm aware of). But Jesus what a fantastic piece of theater. I can't stop thinking about it.

Mrs Wease and the oldest Weaseling saw Sweeney Todd and Parade this week. Weaseling said Parade is the best show she’s seen on Broadway yet. She met the Stranger Things kid that was in Sweeney Todd.

:luv:

Parade was very low on my radar but now that I've read your post I'm reconsidering.

Sweeney Todd is such a great piece. I'm stoked about the revival and very excited to see it. It's my favorite Sonheim.

Are they still in town? They should go see Letters to Max if they are.

Just got back into town an hour or so ago. Sweeney Todd was a Christmas gift. Parade was an on-the-fly decision. I think the historical context was what put it over the top for her as, like her dad, she really digs history stuff.

Mrs Wease said you need to see it.
