| If you are willing to venture downtown, consider 'Tiny Beautiful Things' at the Public. And if you go to the 7pm show, go have dinner nearby and then after dinner go back for the midnight show at Joe's Pub. Nellie McKay on Friday and the radiantly filthy Pam Ann on Saturday. |

| I'd recommend The Band's Visit, a very good musical, IMO. And I have to disagree about Tiny Beautiful Things; I found it excruciating. It's a live-action blog post, in which the writer answers questions posed by three other actors assuming the identities of writers. It doesn't build, it's just more and more of the same, fragmented and going nowhere. However, the Home Place at the Irish Rep is a good production of a late Brian Friel play. | |

| I'd hate to think someone would come back to New York after ten years and have to suffer through the mundane, plodding, finally anesthetic Band's Visit. | |

| I found it warm, completely engaging, tuneful and nuanced, not any of the things you cite. It was, IMO, the best new musical of last season. | |

| The production off-Broadway at the Atlantic was one of the highlights of my year's theatergoing last year. It's a very special, beautiful musical, in my opinion. | |
