Time for 1 show- help me decide between:
Pippin, If/Then, or Bridges of Madison County.
Thanks!

Pippin and Bridges offer Rush tickets, If/Then is a Lotto, not sure how you are getting your tickets if that makes a difference.
I would vote for Pippin, Have not seen Bridges because I heard it is Snooze worthy and If/Then starts tonight.

Pippin
Haven't seen Bridges, but I wasn't a huge fan of If/Then in DC

I saw IF/THEN in DC toward the end of the run... and think there is great potential there. Pippin is the guaranteed charmer, since it's a proven entity. I didn't see Bridges yet, so can't say much there.
If you don't get to NYC often, I steer toward seeing OBC versions, and my personal taste would be If/Then over Bridges. Idina is giving a powerful performance here, and her 11 o'clock number is killer. You've got the Rapp/Dazeem/Grief Rent angle. The N2N dream team angle. And the only original show of the bunch (Pippin is a revival, Bridges is a book and movie). Even if the show isn't a hit, and they've changed a lot since DC, AFAIK, you'd be hard pressed to find more wattage and potential.
I am someone who traveled from NYC to DC specifically to see If/Then, of course, so keep that in mind, as well. 
Now t/d/b/a haterobics on here.
