Hi.
I am going to NYC in the end of March. I am going to see about tixs for Spamalot and Mary Poppins. But I can see one more show. So I have some questions:
1. How long will Les Miz and Martin Short be open?
2. Will Drowsy Chaperone tour?
3. Are tixs to Spamalot hard to get if I try soon? Because I try to get the best seats possible in the orchestra.
HELP!
Thank you.

Thanks.
I am seeing 3 shows, and 2 I want to see are Mary and Spamalot. But, I would see Drowsy if it will not tour. Then Les Miz, then Fame Becomes Me.
So either
1. Drowsy
2. Les Miz
3. Fame Becomes Me
Again, thank you, n69n.

LES MIZ way above and beyond them all IMO 
Especially with this revival cast.

My only issue is that I have seen Les Miz. Since Drowsy may tour, Les Miz will be it maybe.
PS: what does "imo" mean?

Posted: 11/25/06 at 1:26pmDefinitely Les Miz, although I have to say that your choices are all very different from each other. Too bad you have to choose and can't go to all of them! Martin Short isn't really a Broadway Show, although he is very talented and entertaining. It's a showcase for one man who is between movies.
#11re: I Need Help-Les Miz or Martin Short?
Posted: 11/25/06 at 1:31pmIf you've seen Les Mis, I would go with Martin Short since the chance of that touring is probably not very great. It may just be me, but I am completely underwhelmed by this new Les Mis cast.
#12re: I Need Help-Les Miz or Martin Short?
Posted: 11/25/06 at 1:37pmI agree with shiksa_goddess. If you've seen Les Miz, then don't see this version cause you will be SERIOUSLY disappointed. With the exception of Celia and Aaron, the whole thing blows. I would see Drowsy, cause I don't think it's planning on touring. If not that, then see Martin Short for a good laugh. This production of Les Miz really makes you feel the full 3 hours.

Yes, skip this Miz. Fame is great fun, as is Drowsy. Drowsy might tour, Fame most likely will not!
Enjoy your stay in NYC...

Posted: 11/25/06 at 3:27pmIf you've already seen Les Miz, wouldn't you rather see something new? I thought Drowsy was trying to put a tour together, but it hasn't been announced yet. Martin Short is definitely a lot of fun and better than you might expect. Spamalot, however, tops all of these choices. If you can get seats, book them now!

But Les Mis is a short engagement with some fantastic new orchestrations and phenominal new cast, IMHO.
Go see it, no question.
Goshen doesn't do High-School-shows.
#16re: I Need Help-Les Miz or Martin Short?
Posted: 11/25/06 at 6:15pmI am sure Drowsy will tour. Fame i am guessing will not. If you have not seen Les Miz see that...or if you want to see that cast.

Posted: 11/25/06 at 6:54pmDon't buy the hype about "Spamalot". I'd choose anything over that show.

Posted: 12/27/06 at 1:14pmWell, Fame is closing, so I am seeinh availability on Poppins, Drowsy, and Spamalot or Les Miz. Les Miz is a favorite of mine, but Spamalot intrigues me even though I can see it in Vegas when it opens.

So I think you should go with DROWSY
and if you're going in March, Bob Martin would be leaving pretty soon, as well as some other cast members, so that would be the time to see it
