ok, for those of you who are annoyed by people asking for opinions on shows they should attend on trips to NYC - I apologize in advance but I really would like to get some imput form those of you who have the privlidge to attend Broadway theater on a very regular basis-

OK I'll be taking my yearly pilgrimage in April of this year and the following is my schedule:

Thur. April 12 - 8pm - "Mary Poppins" (Already have tickets)

Fri. April 13 - 8pm - "Spring Awakening" (Already have onstage tickets - AA 4 and AA 6) I'm excited!

Fri. April 13 - 11pm - (Going to purchase "Evil Dead" Tickets when available)

Sat. April 14 - 2pm - "Curtains" (Already have tickets)

Sat. April 14 - 8pm - (Need show here)

Sun. April 15 - 2pm - (Need show here)

Sun. April 15 - 7/7:30 - (Need show here)


I'm basically looking to choose between the following for the 3 slots, unless someone has another suggestion. Any info or suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!:

-"Jersey Boys"
-"Grey Gardens"
-"Legally Blonde"
-"Color Purple"
-"Spelling Bee"
-"Pirate Queen"

Grey Gardens, it the must see of the year that you don't already have tickets for.

Grey Gardens is a definite must.

I haven't seen the other ones yet, so I can't speak for them.

Jersey Boys and Spelling Bee are both musts. Of the remaining ones, I'd say that Grey Gardens is your best bet.

Grey Gardens!

Don't decide on Legally Blonde until you hear the buzz from SF.

Jersey Boys is great but the tour is starting so it might be coming to your area. Grey Gardens is one of the must see shows of the year. Spelling Bee is touring also so check for that one too. It will be interesting to see the Pirate Queen changes when it makes it's move to Broadway. Not on your list, but if you haven't seen Company yet I would definitely go do that. One of the best shows I've seen all year. Color Purple was also amazing. My entire group was in tears by the end of it. So I would go with those three, maybe Pirate Queen instead of Purple depending.

Thanks for the info!

Heading4NYC - I did see Company in Cincy before it went to NYC -And yes it was amazing!
I'd love to see JLY in JB if he is still doing that in April - That is one of the main reasons for that show!

Thanks for all the great info and suggestions!

How about The Drowsy Chaperone?

[Zimmy]

Saw it last year.

Excellent!

Thanks

Jersey Boys, Grey Gardends, and what about Company or A Chorus Line? If you don't want to see either of those go with Spelling Bee!

Grey Gardens
A Chorus Line
Spelling Bee
The Apple Tree (if it extends)

dancingthrulife- It won't since they already have 110 in the Shade going in there and Kristin has other projects.

Off Topic- Didn't you say you were going to see Chicago today?

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 1/13/07 at 10:08pm

I did say that. We didn't get tickets.

[neddyfrank2]

Posted: 1/13/07 at 10:09pm

Oh were you going to try and get tickets there? Is it sold out?!

[Zimmy]

Already saw the pre-B-way run of Company in Cincy and don't have a lot of desire to see Chorus Line. But I'm strongly considering the other 3.
Don't know how early I'll have to wake up to get to Jersey Boys for rush. That could be painful!

Thanks for the imput!

THE PIRATE QUEEN
if they fix it up it will be something to see

SEE JERSEY BOYS...it is THE BEST! And I'd also see Pirate Queen, because I hear Stephanie J. Block is NOT to be missed!
