Hey all!

I'll be heading to NYC in late May for a friend's baby shower and will have time for only one Broadway show this trip. I want to see How to Succeed and Book of Mormon but not sure which to choose.

I am enlisting your help. Which one should I use the chance to see? :)

The Book of Mormon BY FAR.

I haven't seen either yet, but they both seem like solid choices (and the likely winners of Best Musical and Best Musical Revival). I'd lean towards BOOK OF MORMON, but if it's not your type of humor check out HOW TO SUCCEED instead.

I'm fairly certain the Book of Mormon will tour if you have the patience to wait, but I doubt Daniel Radcliffe would be touring. So that's something to consider!

No contest - Book of Mormon.

Book of Mormon. Radcliffe really wasn't overly impressive in H2$. And this is coming from a HP fan. Go with Mormon.

I'd say BOOK OF MORMON if you can get a decent seat. But if you can't I'd see HOW TO SUCCEED. I loved it but I loved MORMON more. If you do see SUCCEED don't sit closer than row E orch. Some things happen high on the stage.

Mormon has a lot of hit-you-over-the-head humor and borrows heavily from other shows (which is really, I guess, most of it's charm). It's a fun show no doubt, but sometimes it's a little obvious. I would maybe see it over H2$, but I would also maybe get a drink from the bar on the way in.

Not even a question! Book of Mormon.

Seems like Book of Mormon wins out. Buying Rear Mezz tickets, can't wait.

Trey and Matt seem so smart in their writing (love South Park) and with Robert Lopez involved, should be great. :)
