My aunt and I are having trouble picking a show to see on Kids Night On Broadway. We have brought it down to two choices:
-Color Purple or 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee.
My aunt is no stranger to anything alittle crude. {She loved Avenue Q}, so please help us.

Definitely THE COLOR PURPLE. Such an amazing theatre experience.
As for SPELLING BEE goes. Ugh! I've been going to see shows on Broadway since I was a little kid (7 years old, started in 1972 with the original cast of PIPPIN), and I seem to avoid this show like the plague. Everything about it turns me off. Don't know why, but I have NO interest in seeing it. Enjoyed the Tony Awards performance and heard a few tracks off the cast recording and STILL, it doesn't draw me to it.
Oy!

Posted: 11/14/06 at 5:32pmWhatever you can get better seats for. I have only seen Spelling Bee off B'way, so I don't know if it is still as enjoyable.

Posted: 11/14/06 at 7:16pmThe Color Purple without a doubt.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Haven't seen Color Purple, but I doubt some kids will understand Spelling Bee. I mean they'll get the concepts but not the whole plot, etc.
I'd say go with Color Purple, just 'cuz I saw Spelling Bee and thought it was absolutely horrible.

"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
