I am going to be visiting NYC next month and can only see one of the following shows. Which acting duo should I see?
Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch (A Little Night Music)
Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge (La Cage aux Folles)
Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth (The Addams Family)

Judging the show, and not the duo:
NOT the Addams Family.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Nathan Lane & Bebe Neuwirth, as well as Carolee Carmello & Terrence Mann.
You can't beat the talent, and the show is enjoyable enough while you there...very funny.

Posted: 8/1/10 at 5:28pmI would strongly recommend seeing Peters and Stritch. You can't go wrong with Hodge and Grammer, but I'd still go with the ladies.

Posted: 8/1/10 at 5:51pmAgree, Peters and Stritch for sure. And you might consider trying to get youw tickets in the next couple of hours, before tomorrow's reviews start to show up on-line.

Posted: 8/1/10 at 5:59pmAh to be honest, I have not seen Peters & Stritch. I'm not the biggest Night Music fan and actually enjoyed Addams enough to recommend it. Also it is the only new show in the group, if that means anything.

Posted: 8/1/10 at 6:05pmALNM...I know I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to see amazing actresses such as Peters and Stritch... but honestly, those 3 shows are all so different, it comes down to taste.

Lane does his absolute best with the worst possible material, but its still a crappy show.
I would say Peters and Stritch, without a doubt.

Posted: 8/1/10 at 6:57pmI haven't seen Addams yet, but I am going to go with Peters and Stritch (even though I haven't seen them, it would be a crime to miss them...and I DID thoroughly enjoy the production with Zeta-Jones and Lansbury).
#14Which pair should I see?
Posted: 8/1/10 at 7:35pmNot Bebe and Nathan. I agree with adamgreer, he does his best with awful material. But it's still awful material.
#16Which pair should I see?
Posted: 8/1/10 at 10:12pmIm casting a write-in ballot for Marin & Jason. :)

I plan on seeing Marin and Jason during a Monday evening =P
I didn't forget about them.
#19Which pair should I see?
Posted: 8/1/10 at 11:00pmOk...then Peters and Stritch. Two legends on stage singing Sondheim. Its a no-brainer. This is once in a lifetime. :)
