When living so close to New York City, it’s easy to take advantage of all the great theater at your disposal on the Great White Way. That is unless you’re a struggling college student because then it’s a bit more difficult. While “Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark” and “Book of Mormon” might be the toast of Broadway, tickets can come at a steep price.

“Crimes of the Heart” Didn’t Rob Audiences of Drama
I’m usually not one who goes to see plays, or other styles of theatrical performance. Despite this, I still enjoy a good play, and “Crimes of the Heart” delivered. I was also happy that this wasn’t a musical. Seriously, so many TV programs nowadays are about singing and dancing that it sort of produced a stereotype that all shows were happy-go-lucky musicals (at least for me). Thankfully “Crimes of the Heart” broke this self-induced mold for me and showed me a serious, yet darkly humorous dilemma.
