After Jerusalem, Im VERY wary of another Butterworth play.

And I wont see Mockingbird because certain actors annoy the hell out of me."

I think the OP wanted recommendations from people who actually saw the shows?"

 

Gee, thanks for guiding me through the real motive behind the op’s message. I would never have known. Forgot the rules and regulations of this public chat site.

Gary might. Hillary & Clinton might. Ink might. Still way too early to make a Best Play call! (Personally I loved Ferryman and hated TKAM, so if it does come down to those two, that's an easy choice for me, if I were a voter.)

For OP...you really can't go wrong either way. Personally I enjoyed The Ferryman more - I think it's overall the better play - but Elaine May's performance is one for the books, so I could completely see making a case for Waverly for that reason."

 

I understand your point that a lot can happen; however, two epic productions received overall great reviews in the same season; they will both benefit from having been opened for months and (certainly still the case with TKAM)  still doing gangbuster business.  I stand by my comments: I don't know which will win, but it is going to be one of those two.
