BEST BETS, FEBRUARY 2008:

To take a date: The Farnsworth Invention
(Go with the hot, intellectual thing.)

To take your parents: August: Osage County
(Relatable family drama that will make your family look normal.)

For a laugh: Avenue Q
(Obvious but solid entertainment; try the lottery for cheap tickets two and a half hours before the show.)

For a good story: The Seafarer
(The plot has holes, but the characters are fantastic.)

Cheap but awesome: Speech & Debate
(The first of Roundabout Theatre’s new “Underground” series.)

Quick, before it closes: Speech & Debate
(Closes February 24 after a very extended run.)

Let us be the first to tell you: In the Heights
(Previews begin February 14 for this awesome new musical.)
