These are both downtown, but they're really easy to get to from the theater district on the subway. I really enjoyed Checkers, the play about the Nixons. It's at the Vineyard Theater in Union Square, just a quick trip on the N, R, or Q train. And I loved Falling, finding it wonderfully acted and very moving. That's in the Village, but very near the West Fourth Street station, accessible on the A, B, C, D, E, F, M.
Falling at the Minetta Lane theater is wonderful, The Whale at Playwrights Horizons is terrific, and so is Disgraced at Lincoln Center, which has extended, if you can get a ticket.
I've heard good things about Checkers at the Vineyard, am seeing Giant and Sorry at the Public this weekend (Sorry has already gotten rave reviews) and will try Good Mother next week at the New Group. Ivanov at Classic Stage is supposed to be great, Wild With Happy at the Public has gotten very good reviews, and I'm hoping to catch Piano Lesson at Signature in the next few weeks. The Friel play, Freedom of the City, at the Irish rep also got excellent reviews, don't know how much longer it's playing though...
The Fantasticks plays on West 50th street/Broadway and it's amazing. Right across from Wicked.

"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry
I'm very interested in Inner Voices. One of the musicals is written by Martin Moran of Titanic and The Tricky Part. Tony Award nominee Hunter Foster, Arielle Jacobs and Alexandra Silber explore Inner Voices, a collection of three solo musicals, beginning Nov. 10 at the 30th Street Theatre.
Paulette Haupt, who also serves as artistic director of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre Center's Musical Theatre Conference, is the artistic director of Premieres, which presents the three new musicals. The engagement will officially open Nov. 18 for a run through Dec. 2.
