I've become a bit addicted to Broadway, and tickets are a better holiday present than some random piece of stuff that gathers dust, so here are some current shows I'd recommend:

GLENGARRY: Fantastic. Total revelation compared to the movie. And Shelley is clearly the inspiration for Odenkirk's Saul.

DORIAN GRAY: Greatest production of anything I've ever seen, and Snook should win everything.

MINCEMEAT: A great deal of snarky middlebrow fun with an absolutely heartbreaking song at the center. Could be called THE PLAN THAT GOES WRONG.

STRANGER THINGS: The acting and story are only OK, but what's on the stage is mesmerizing in its awesomeness. Every trick is used.

I also saw CYMBELINE and KOWALSKI, both of which were very good, but both are also closed.
