Favorite Musical this Season? — Page 2

Closer to the stage is better for this one. I'd go for anywhere in the orchestra over the rear mezz."

Good to know - thanks!

I found it really enjoyable. I'm not sure why it gets the amount of hate it's been getting -it's a fun show! Yes, some of the lyrics are... questionably lazy... but overall I thought it was a very entertaining night of theater. I was smiling the whole time. If someone's coming to NYC and can only see one show, I'm not sure it's the ONE I'd recommend, but it's certainly worth seeing if you live here or have vacation options!"

pushdabutton said: "I should have mentioned I am bringing my niece to see Mean Girls. She's 20 years old. Here are some of the shows she loved (in no particular order):

- Kinky Boots
- Dear Evan Hansen
- Hamilton
- Waitress
- Lobby Hero
- Wicked
- Rent
- Newsies

I agree with Judy. I wouldn't say it's the best show of the season, but to me, it was enjoyable in its own way.

Just for information, I haven't seen the movie. I have seen most of the shows your niece liked, except for Lobby Hero and Newsies, and liked them all.

MY FAIR LADY is first runner-up, a cooler show delivered with panache and skill if not swooning emotion.

And then, I'm sorry to say, THE BAND'S VISIT takes a distant third place. The music could be lovely, but the show simply traveled too small a journey for me. An admirable Act I waiting for its Act II."

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND, undoubtedly. THE BAND'S VISIT just did not do it for me and I do not understand the hype (mind you, I am not a HUGE theater critic but can't get behind this one). Spend the money on ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. You will not regret it.

the bands visit was one of the more boring things i have ever seen. The last 20 min were good..the rest made me annoyed.
Fish out of water story. seen it before.

Agree with The Band's Visit on Broadway. Sublime.

Desperate Measures flew below my radar. I am seeing it the first week it re-opens at New World Stages. I hear the score has a country sound so I am all in. Can't wait.

I want to watch this! But there are still no dates available for late October. Will the producers extend the run? :)
