Ok so I'm going to NYC in about June here are shows I'm going to see:
Promises, Promises Lips Together, Teeth Apart Wicked(I know! Don't say anything. Just ignore) Next To Normal and Billy Elliot.
So here's really the point of my thread. What are you going to go see the next time you either visit New York or go to the theatre? Updated On: 1/10/10 at 11:22 PM
not Wicked... seeing Wicked is kind of a waste of a show to me. My time in New York is always valuable and I see as many shows as possible. There are just too many shows on Broadway that are way more worth the time and money.
Stephanie Fan....don't change a thing. Now to answer your question... I'd like to see: "Looped" with Valerie Harper, "La Cage" (to see what Nick Adams does) and maybe "Addams Family". I'd like to go to NYC sometime in June... where summer will be nice and warm.. even hot is better than now (where it's 20 F here). I might even see an off-Broadway show. from RC in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
No idea when I'm going to see a show again, but I want to see the following:
The Miracle Worker Promises, Promises Hair (Yes, I still have not seen it.) Fences West Side Story (Again)
"I don't want the pretty lights to come and get me."-Homecoming 2005
"You can't pray away the gay."-Callie Torres on Grey's Anatomy.

In The Heights and Rock of Ages again, Promises Promises, Adams Family and maybe Next to Normal.
"If we don't live happily ever after at least we survive until the end of the week!"
-Kermit the frog"I need the money... it costs a lot to look this cheap!" -Dolly P."Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu""...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu
After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu
I'm coming to NY (well the USA) for the first time ever, and I've booked tickets to see:
Sondheim on Sondheim A Little Night Music Anyone Can Whistle (Encores! though, I guess this doesn't count?) lips together, teeth part the glass menagerie (off-broadway)
There is this concert on at Carnegie Hall on the 16th of April, with Paulo Szot and Kelli Oâ??Hara singing Learner & Lowere, which I'm also seeing.
If I have the time and money, I might try and fit in another couple of shows. Maybe I should see SOUTH PACIFIC to get some kind of idea what a full-scale Broadway production is actually like.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
Here's what I'm seeing when I head to NYC on vacation in 10 days. Hold on to your hats!
Bye Bye Birdie A View From The Bridge Next To Normal RACE Chicago Natalie Weiss: Offline (Birdland) Sutton Foster (Joe's Pub) Rated RSO (Joes Pub) (both performances) Mr. And Ms. Fitch (off-Broadway) Time Stands Still Love, Loss and What I Wore (off-Broadway) and Hair
and I have tickets for the first preview of The Glass Menagerie in March.
