Sorry for the "help me" thread, but I'll be in town for one night soon, and I'm wondering whether I should see Guys & Dolls or West Side Story?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

"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

There are threads on both of these with extensive reviews and opinions....
from those choices: WSS seems to win hands down...take a few minutes and read thru the posts!

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

West Side Story for sure. If you can even get tickets anymore.
(and if you can't, do Hair as opposed to G&D)
