hello. my friend and i are going to New york May the 10-15
Thursday we're seeing CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG and Friday we're seeing BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (already have tickets for both). I want to see two more shows because the reason i'm taking this trip is for my graduation present...I want to see two...my friend thinks that 4 shows is too much theatre and she wants to see NYC from "OUTSIDE A THEATRE", but i may just have to veto her opinion ( I LOVE BROADWAY SHOWS), anyway, i was wondering what your all's opinions were...I was thinking maybe between:
The Lion King (seen it and loved it!)
The producers (heard alan ruck can't sing well so i'm not THAT thrilled to see it anymore),
Steel Magnolias (LOVE EBERSOLE AND BURKE!!!)
CHICAGO, LITTLE WOMEN, LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, and JULIUS CEASAR........
LET THE COMMENTS FLOW!
Thanks everyone

"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
--Phylicia Rashad

DRS or Julius Caesar would be my first ideas and check out The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

im not real sure how old you are (graduating hs or college?) , what youve seen before, etc which would help in making suggestions.
The Lion King, CHICAGO, LITTLE WOMEN, Steel Magnolias and JULIUS CEASAR... I havent seen any of these so Id have a hard time suggesting them. Ive heard great things about DRS but again, havent seen it yet.
The Producers i wasnt too fond of.
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a very entertaining show. All Shook Up is another good time. Avenue Q & Hairspray are great shows.
Im seeing Spamalot and Light In The Piazza shortly so Ill have an opinion on those soon.

Posted: 3/8/05 at 6:54pmJulius Caesar is just about impossible to get tickets to unless you want to pay upwards of $250 a ticket.
