Posted: 8/23/08 at 11:13amI'll be in NYC in October and I have tickets for August:OC, Billy Elliot, South Pacific, and Spring Awakening. I have 2 more slots for shows and I'm not sure what to select. I have Boeing, Boeing, Equss, and title of show on my short list. Please help. Any advice appreciated.Thanks

Posted: 8/23/08 at 12:07pmBoeing-Boeing and [title of show] are great options! I would also add Gypsy to your list. Have a wonderful trip!

Posted: 8/23/08 at 2:47pm[Title of Show] is brilliant and you would probably get the best seat for that. But Gypsy and Boeing are fantastic choices too.

Definitely go for [title of show]!
And I enjoyed BOEING BOEING, but don't know if its worth seeing- especially with tired cast members.
Go for EQUUS or GYPSY.

Gypsy, absolutely! Especially since you're seeing South Pacific, another excellent choice. Two wonderful revivals with all star casts, and hard to choose one over the other.
As for the other, Xanadu is a fun show, or maybe take in a long run like Avenue Q, Chicago, or Phantom (which I just revisited a few days ago, it was great!).

Boeing-Boeing is great too, but I consider the other two to be can't miss shows.

Posted: 8/23/08 at 7:41pmGypsy for sure. For the second one, either [tos] or Boeing- you'll need a pick me up after August (so brilliant, but completely destroys you emotionally).

Boeing-Boeing!
And A Tale of Two Cities! (not on your list, I know)

Posted: 8/24/08 at 5:19amAlthough a part of me always goes for [title of show], I'm actually going to suggest Gypsy and In The Heights. The (in my opinion) best revival and (winner for) best musical of this year, respectively. Gypsy will wow you with its god-like performances (from LuPone to Larkin) and tightly-wound simple perfection - there is no wasted line, expression, song, or even note. And with In The Heights, you get something so original, yet exhilarating and fun nonetheless. Some of the songs are the most catchy tunes I have heard and the entire cast has such a combined energy that is perfectly honed every night with each dance, each song, each lotto win, at the Richard Rodgers each night.
