Haven't seen If/Then yet. Seeing it tomorrow.
I've seen Violet/Heathers/Bridges. I would go with Bridges! :)

Posted: 4/23/14 at 11:40amVIOLET was my favorite of those, by far, but they're all different. Do you have a specific thing you're looking for from a show in that slot?
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I found Bridges to be the most boring thing!
Of the 4 you listed, I've seen If/Then and Bridges. Like I said, Bridges was a snoozefest for me.
I'm biased to recommend If/Then, but Idina's performance is really not to be missed. Alternatively, I'd recommend Cabaret!

Posted: 4/23/14 at 12:17pmI've seen both Heathers and Violet and I'd recommend them both. I guess it boils down to what kind of show you would rather see. Violet has a lot of heart and some excellent performances by Joshua Henry, Sutton Foster, Annie Golden and Colin Donnell, and Heathers is a hilariously fun and campy show.
