Arcadia and Jerusalem are both terrific plays. I haven't read Bengal Tiger yet but I have it sitting here.

Skip That Championship Season. A 70's mediocrity that really shouldn't be revived.

Fat Pig is middle Labute, so only see if it's cheap.

Intelligent Homosexual's Guide is Kushner, which means I consider it a must see regardless.

Spider-man will still be in previews then. So don't bother (no, not technically, but come on).

War Horse is supposed to be AMAZING, and it should be open in April.

The Whipping Man's reviews are also quite strong, but it closes early April

There's a new Christopher Shinn play at the Vineyard without an official opening date, but could be open in April. He's a great writer and worth checking out. Lynn Nottage also has a new play and her last one, Ruined, was phenomenal.
