Posted: 12/15/12 at 1:07pmI'm going to be in the city Tuesday and I don't which one I should see. Elf or Chaplin?

Does anybody believe this is real?
No.
Yet my comments keep getting deleted, but the original post always stays. Whatever.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Posted: 12/15/12 at 9:00pmI totally agree with Jordan. Critics (print/media & BWW) missed the boat on this one.

Posted: 12/15/12 at 9:21pmMaybe it's because I saw the first preview (anyone know if major changes were made?) but I thought Chaplin was a complete mess. The only thing I left impressed by was Rob McClure.

Posted: 12/15/12 at 9:44pmI overheard an user telling someone that it changed a lot "since you saw it last" but I have no idea what was changed.
#12Should I See Elf or Chaplin?
Posted: 12/15/12 at 10:09pmI will say for Chaplin that I thought it was more original than a lot of the shows I've seen lately and I would rather see an ambitious if imperfect show than yet another screen-to-stage adaptation with little or no creativity or inspiration. The opening number was also lovely.

Posted: 12/16/12 at 5:54amI'd be interested to know how it changed. Rob McClure was great but it was pretty underwhelming overall.
#14Should I See Elf or Chaplin?
Posted: 12/16/12 at 10:20amI very much enjoyed Chaplin. There were a lot of structural issues, but I think there's a very good musical hiding underneath all that. Rob McClure alone is worth the price of admission. I don't think I'd go back, but I'm very glad that I saw it.

Posted: 12/16/12 at 10:48amI didn't like Chaplin as a show, but Rob McClure's performance alone makes it worth while. Of the 2, I'd pick Elf.

Posted: 12/16/12 at 10:51amI just can't stop thinking about CHAPLIN. I really truly enjoyed it and I'm going to need to see it again before it leaves.
#17Should I See Elf or Chaplin?
Posted: 12/16/12 at 11:42amBased on what I read on here I thought it was going to be dreadful but I saw it last night and really enjoyed it. I told some out of town relatives to try to come up to see it before it closes.
