Play - Doubt (It's brilliant in my opinion)
Musical - Tie between Sweet Charity and ...Spelling Bee (I hear Light in the Piazza is wonderful but I don't see it until November so I can't say!)
Just give the world Love.

Play: Pillowman...it will haunt you for weeks after you see it
Musical: The Light in the Piazza....such a nice break from all of the ironic musicals out today. Truly a nod to the lushness of Sondheim shows and West Side Story, and it's only here for a limited time!

Posted: 8/29/05 at 3:43pm"Spelling Bee" is probably the best time I've spent in the theatre. It's a laugh-a-minute (except for the "I Love You" song, which is slow and stops the show's momentum). I refuse to see The Light in the Piazza, because I find it boring (based on the cast recording). I might try and catch it before it closes, but it's not on my list of priorities.

Posted: 8/29/05 at 3:49pmWho's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf - a classic that won't be around again for many many years after the undeserved box office failure of this scintillating production. Go see it now!

Light in the Piazza
It's a great musical for people who love musicals. It has a beauitful score and set, an amazing cast... and there are very funny parts in it too. The show won the most Tonys: 6, including one for the leading lady, Victoria Clark. The theatre is very cozy, and almost all of the seats you have a perfect view throughout the show.

Sorry. One show? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST ONE!
But, it would be an Off Broadway show named Forbidden Broadway. 
It would depend on the person:
Ave Q
Forbidden Broadway
Spelling Bee (Magic Foot)
Hairspray
The Producers
Sweet Charity (Denis O'Hare)
I still have not seen:
Pillowman
Spamalot

Piazza was great with Matt. Sadly, Matt has left.
The new Piazza number in Forbidden Broadway is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
