#0What show should I see with my mom?
Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:06pmMy mom and I are going to NYC for the weekend of March 25th- we'll be staying for two days. On Saturday night, we are going to see Sweeney, but we are stuck for a Sunday matinee. We have already seen Wicked, The Producers, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Light in the Piazza, Rent, Hairspray and Beauty and the Beast. She prefers to see "newer" shows, (shows that have not had any major cast changes yet) but she really wants to see a good show. Any help is appreciated.
There's a lot I am not certain of...

Is this really off-topic?
Spelling Bee is a good choice.
#4re: What show should I see with my mom?
Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:09pmI completely agree with Spelling Bee.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:13pmHas anyone here seen Spelling Bee recently? How are all the newer actors doing? (Josh Gad, Greg Stuhr, etc.)

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:14pmWell, I saw it in San Francisco. I don't think it really counts.

I believe it's March 25. That's the latest one I have heard. It may be different.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:16pmI saw Spelling Bee in NYC, ever since the Tony's haven't heard much about it.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:16pmMaybe The Color Purple? It hasn't changed casts yet.
#12re: What show should I see with my mom?
Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:20pmDarlesia Cearcy is now in the role of Nettie. Renee Elise Goldsberry was the one who originated the role, I believe. Other than that, I don't believe the cast has changed.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:23pmI asked her about TCP, but she doesn't seem interested. So far we've looked at The Pajama Game (but its sold out, obviously) and Jersey Boys (tickets for the performence we want are too expensive). She seems interested in Spelling Bee, but any other suggestions are welcome!

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:40pmWould she do Off-Broadway?

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:48pmIt depends. We considered trying Forbidden Broadway, but I don't think she'd get a lot of jokes, since she really doesn't pay attention to the theater world.

Well ihearttheatre, you can talk about anything on the off-topic board.
Why does your mom only want to see new shows? It doesn't hurt to see a classic here and there. I would suggest going to see The Phantom of the Opera or Avenue Q.

SHErRy: "Well ihearttheatre, you can talk about anything on the off-topic board. Shows how open minded you are."
Good point, ShErRy.
Let's remind everyone how open-minded you are. And how incredibly kind you are to one this board's all around nicest and warmest posters, Blue Wizard.

You can go **** yourself because Brokeback Mountain was a stupid and ****ing boring ass movie. You couldn't even understand one word that was coming out of Heath's mouth. Now go **** yourself fag. "
There we go.

Sherry, you're a homophobic little twit. Why don't you go play in traffic?

Posted: 3/9/06 at 8:58pmIn the time it took me to scroll down to read only Sherry's post and hit Reply, there's already 3 people who've beat me to the punch. No fair.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 9:03pmSherry, my post had nothing to do with how open minded I am. I just thought it would have been more appropriate to put a Broadway-related post such as this on the Broadway board. I answered the question anyway because it doesn't matter that much.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 9:07pmSherry's having a bad day.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 9:10pm..or, more likely, she just likes to make unprovoked nasty comments. A bad day is no excuse.
