Okay here's my problem: i'm seeing WICKED again on may 27, i just saw DRS last month, i wanna see it again, but i also have an opportunity to see Phantom Of The Opera, Jersey Boys and Avenue Q. Which show should i see?

And you could base it upon your opinion of the show only if you saw it. I don't wanna make a big mistake not seeing a show i could have enjoyed :)

Thanks!

Phantom is, of course, a classic. Most people I know who aren't into Broadway enjoy it.

Avenue Q happens to be quite a bit of fun.

Jersey Boys is good - but not the best of the three...and not the best if you aren't into the style of music.

I would go with Avenue Q.

I would say skip Phantom and try to catch Ave Q or Jersey Boys. I haven't seen Jersey Boys, but it is definately on my to do list. Avenue Q is a lot of fun but it is pretty raunchy, so if you're not into that kind of stuff, you might not like it. I personally do not care for Phantom, but I know a lot of people who love it.

How about a play? THE LIETUENANT OF INISHMORE and WELL are both fantastic.

Avenue Q is very very funny. You do realize it's called "The Dirty Puppet Show" because it's done with Sesame Street-style puppets (saying things that would make Big Bird turn purple). Boys From Jersey is very polished but if you don't like the music, it can be more like a Las Vegas act. Phantom is a classic with something from all the food groups but by now has become quite a tourist attraction. I haven't seen it in a decade, so I can't vouch for its freshness. So for me, it's Ave Q.

Avenue Q is good, but Phantom is a classic and has a wonderful cast right now.See it, especially if you haven't before!

I'd always opt for a good show I haven't seen than to repeat a good show I have seen. The only two on your list I've seen are DRS and Avenue Q. I enjoyed them both, especially DRS, but if you haven't seen Q, maybe it's time. re: Hmm,, what show??

See something out of the ordinary. Broaden your horizons.

Definitely Jersey Boys would be my suggestion! It rocks! Great music, especially talented cast & a compelling story.

Choice #2 would be Avenue Q. It's truly hilarious!
