Carousel vs. My Fair Lady?

Posted: 1/16/18 at 12:36pm

My husband wants to see either Carousel or My Fair Lady. He likes a spectacle and a more traditional musical; The King and I revival was right up his alley. I could throw in the choice of Hello, Dolly! too. Unfortunately, we can only see one, so must choose.

Any thoughts?

There was a thread asking this same question not too long ago!: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=1106100

My vote is My Fair Lady. Bart Sher and the team at Lincoln Center are a surefire bet for something huge and iconic.

Edit: But if you say you haven't seen Hello, Dolly! yet either, don't miss that one. A truly glorious production.

Thanks! I had used the search feature on the forum, but it didn't pull up the thread for me.

My husband's first reaction was for MFL, but I want to make sure we consider all choices as this will be our one NYC trip this year.

Personally I would choose Carousel based on the cast. Jessie Muller and Lindsay Mendez have always been favorites of mine. But My fair Lady sounds like it will be better in terms of quality. No matter which one you choose you will still have fun!

Between those 2 - My Fair Lady. Then Dolly, then Carousel. That doesn't imply I think Carousel won't be wonderful, but if he really wants the spectacle, go for either the other two

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Go with My Fair Lady! A production of that all-time classic directed by Bartlett Sher already sounds like a must-see to me. Though if you go with Hello, Dolly!, you definitely won't regret it.
