#1Spelling Bee or Blonde? Help!!!
Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:20pmSo I'm going on a trip to NYC with a local theatre group and our choices for the show we get to see are Spelling Bee and Blonde. I had originally picked Blonde but now I'm trying to decide if I should see Bee. My reasoning is because we're going the weekend it closes. I've already seen both shows but which would you choose?

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:24pmIf you have seen both before why can't you decide yourself which one you'd rather see again? I would choose Spelling Bee.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:28pmThe reason I asked was because I havent seen the current cast of Spelling Bee so i didn't know if they were any good. Should have said that in the first post

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:30pmI saw the current cast two weeks ago and they were all quite good.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:31pmYea the cast is not as good as the original, but still it's closing weekend and you'll never see it on Tv plus it's a better show.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:33pmDefinitely the Bee. I enjoyed the current cast thoroughly, and it's closing in a matter of months!

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:40pmOk thank you all! I had been leaning a little bit more towards Spelling Bee mainly because of all the reasons you guys listed

Spelling Bee is a small, cute show. Legally Blond is, well, big, brassy and blond. It's apples and watermelons.
You decide, don't let all the Bee lovers do it for you.

If he could have decided he would not have been asking for help.

I say Legally Blonde
Only because I've never seen Spelling Bee.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 7:54pmWhat a ghastly decision to have to make. And I don't mean that in a positive way.

I haven't seen the current cast of Spelling Bee, and I've only seen Legally Blonde on TV, but if I was in place, I'd choose Spelling Bee, just because Legally Blonde will probably be around for some time.
Still, it's up to you how much you care about seeing Spelling Bee again.

I revisited the Bee recently with someone who had never seen it before- she *loved* it, I thought they were fine but I just kept thinking about the original cast...
