I have plans to see Guys & Dolls, Something Rotten, and Othello, but have one more slot open. I can see either Death of a Salesman, A Midsummer's Nights Dream, or Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I'm leaning towards one of the latter two for levity.

I'm not from Ontario and have only been to Stratford once before, so I'm not familiar with if there's any favoured actors or directors. I've seen smaller local productions of Midsummer before and enjoy it, but I've never seen it with a more professional company. And since Saturday, Sunday, Monday is newer there aren't really reviews yet. Or if there's something special about this production of Death of a Salesman, I could be convinced to change gears and see that.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on which to choose?

Hello! I'm a big fan of the musical and have seen it live several times, but haven't been in NYC for the last couple years and hadn't planned to this year, so I haven't paying much attention to the recent state of Hadestown. An opportunity came up to spend a couple days in Manhattan while travelling elsewhere, and I realized I'll be there August 30 and then again a week later in September, meaning I have a chance to view either the current cast or the new one starting September 1st.

I was wondering what people think of the current cast, and the incoming one? Are there any standouts? Should I catch the current ones on their last day, or is the incoming one exciting and I should chance waiting to see them instead?
