Caroline, or Change or Mrs. Doubtfire

I only have room to add one more show to my quick NYC trip. I'm deciding between Caroline, or Change or Mrs. Doubtfire and wondering which do you suggest?

I'm also seeing Little Shop of Horrors and Company.

Thanks!

I’d tip the scale to Caroline or Change, though they are both diametrically different shows and depends on if you are feeling pure musical comedy or a dramatic operetta.

I was in your shoes this past weekend, and picked Caroline, or Change. I wish I would have picked Mrs. Doubtfire instead.

Caroline, Or Change for sure. Did not care for Doubtfire at all really. It's fun, but Caroline is a fantastic piece of theatre that will stick with you.

Totally depends on what you want to see - both are really great productions (having seen both).

Caroline is a work of art but is fairly deep and intense (with moments of levity), mostly for adults, and a brilliant but complex score.

Mrs. Doubtfire doesn't say much but is super-fun, family-friendly, has some show-stopping choreography and toe-tapping numbers. 

You really can't go wrong with either one.

See Diana! Skip both, both bad choices.

You couldn’t pick two more different musicals haha.

I actually saw both last week. Both are fantastic. It all depends on your mood, but if I had to pick one, I’d choose ‘Caroline, or Change.’ It truly is a masterpiece. Plus it features some really stellar performances and spectacular voices.

Then again, you don’t want to miss Rob McClure’s tour de force in ‘Mrs. Doubtfire.’ This is a really hard decision lol…
