Posted: 5/21/07 at 4:24pmI'm down to the city in June the Weds matinee after the Tonys, I thought i wanted to see 110, but now i'm thinking Company...I'm not sure, any suggestions?

Posted: 5/21/07 at 4:29pmHaven't seen 110 (have no desire to actually) but I thought Company was great, so I'd definitely suggest seeing it.

Posted: 5/21/07 at 4:29pmCompany. The show's future is uncertain, so you had better see it as soon as possible.

Neither of them are going to last forever, are they? I'd go for 'Company' myself, but I have no knowledge of '110 In The Shade' so possibly am not too helpful...

I havent seen 110 yet, I'm going june 5th so I can let you know, lol. I have heard its a great show, and that she is wonderful.
If you haven't seen Company though, I'd say definetly see it before it closes because it's incredible.

Posted: 5/21/07 at 4:44pmGo see Company, it's a better show, 110 is kind of boring, Audra McDonald is amazing, but there is really no other reason to see the show besides her performance.

I was going to say this exactly. Audra is worth seeing once though, so if you have time and money, I would say, see both!

I'm in the I've seen both but Company left me cold.
My vote's for 110. But I know I'm in the minority not loving Company around here.

This revival of Company is way overrated. *ducks as objects are thrown at my head*
