I haven't seen JB, but I've seen Spelling Bee 3 times and DRS twice(I'm really hoping to see it once again before Norbert and Greg leave). Both are great, and from what I've heard, so is Jersey Boys(which I actually really want to see).
It really depends on what you want to see. Spelling Bee is HILAROUS, but it isn't a show that showcases one actor's talent- its an ensemble show. If you want to see a show-stealing performence, then see DRS or Jersey Boys. Both Norbert and John Lloyd Young give amazing performences.
for 2 back to back, i'd see JERSEY BOYS (which I havent seen, heard its really good, have the cd though, and seeing it this summer) and DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS (which I just saw a week ago and is one of my favorites! norbert and mylinda were amazing!)
JERSEY BOYS and SPELLING BEE! They are so different and amazing in their own way. Have fun! Spelling Bee is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, and Jersey Boys one of the most spectacular.

This is a really hard decision but your first choice should definately be Jersey Boys without a doubt. I had no desire to see it either until last night I got a rush ticket in the front row and I though it was one of the best musicals I've seen on Broadway. DO NOT MISS IT!!! Between Spelling Bee and DRS I would pick DRS just because IMO the sets, actors, costumes, and music are alot better,. I would only get SRO or try to win the lotto for Bee becasue I don't feel its worth $95.
