Alan Rickman: Broadway stars dream of a night off (STARTRIBUNE)

They're usually too busy performing to see other shows, but here's what's they'd like to catch if they had the time.

It's good to be on Broadway, but playing the lead in "Wit" or "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" does mean working almost every night, making it difficult to ever see another show. What, then, to squeeze in? We asked gainfully employed Broadway performers which coming productions they'd most want to catch if they had the chance.

Alan Rickman (starring in "Seminar"): "'Death of a Salesman,' Arthur Miller on Broadway. 'Three Sisters,' Chekhov at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Mike Nichols and Lev Dodin. Two great plays. Two great directors. Turn off your cellphones."
