What did you hate about the Great Comet? I don't know why she wants to see Anastasia, but she wants to see DEH because she fell in love with the music. I hadn't been paying close attention to Broadway because I didn't expect to be going this year.
Girls who are graduating college this year grew up on the Anastasia cartoon movie. My daughter and her friends who are all college seniors made a special trip to Hartford just to see it. Anastasia is one of the princess stories which that specific age group LOVES.
Thanks, I am sure that is the reason. I didn't question her about it because I still want the trip to be a surprise especially seeing 3 shows! I always have a hard time picking that final show to see on a trip to NYC. I guess this trip is no different. I appreciate the feedback from everyone, and I still haven't decided.

I respectfully but totally disagree with Hairspray! Great Comet was one of the most thrilling experiences I've had in the theatre. And yes, the sung-through element is a big reason why I think it appeals to most Les Miz and Hamilton lovers, but also fits into the genre of shows that are historically based with an edge. I'm sure I sound like a rep for the show at this point but I truly loved it

I liked Great Comet a lot, and Josh Groban was fantastic. It was beautiful, and visually spectacular. You're not going to make a wrong choice. But for me, Come from Away spoke to a deeper place. If you lived through 9/11, or even if you didn't, it will have such meaning. It's about our desire to make connections with others, no matter who we are or where we come from.
