Evita or Scandalous?

Posted: 10/3/12 at 11:56am

I am coming into NYC for a few days in early NOV and already have tickets for "Drood", but I have room for a Sunday matinee and wonder if "Evita" or "Scandalous" would best suit my $$$. Any thoughts?

Theater anywhere, anytime and with anyone. It's my passion.

If those are your only choices, I would have to say Scandalous for the mere fact that Evita does not do Sunday performances...

Carolee Carmello (Scandalous) can out-sing Elena Roger (Evita)any day, in my opinion.

Evita was fine…can’t speak for Scandalous. Why don’t you see Annie?

Go see Scandalous and tell Carolee you saw it over Evita just for her. Maybe she'll belt out a few bars of Rainbow High for you.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

what is the buzz? Is Scandalous supposed to be good? Is it going to be a must see while in NYC?

Rock of Ages. Highly entertaining. I haven't heard anything good about Scandalous.

Evita...Scandalous might not run though for that long so if you want to go see a musical that's about praying..than go see that. :)

I admit. I saw Evita and I haven't seen Scandalous. My belief that you should see Scandalous instead is based ony on having heard 2 full songs performed the show with its Seattle cast, as well as several clips from other songs (and loving Carolee Carmello's performance enough to listen again and again), and the agony I was in when watching Evita. (You can go read other boards for the debate over Elena Roger).

Besides, as supersam1026 pointed out, Evita doesn't have Sunday matinees. Consider yourself lucky. While the set designs are beautiful, the singing is not (with the exception of the ensemble).

I haven't seen Scandalous but I have seen Evita.
Evita has got to be one of the dullest productions I have ever had to sit through.
And I generally like this musical.
It was about as enthralling as going to the dentist. And at least when I go to the dentist
I feel something.
I vote for Scandalous.

There is a reason no one has seen scandalous yet because it hasn't started previews yet. I saw it five times when it was in Seattle and i thought it was a great. I think alot of changes will be made in New York but it is a very good show with incredible music and a very interesting story. Evita is good but Scandalous was better :)

Thank you for all the feedback. I too love "Evita", but cannot sit through Elena Roger after hearing the London recording with her. I think "Scandalous" wins.

It is always worthwhile to see Carolee! She's extraordinary even if the material isn't. (No dig against Scandalous, which I haven't seen.)
