Well, it depends on who "us" is.

As far as 'is it any good?" ~ it won the Tony for Best Musical. It is a great story with a modern score. I'd say more rap and hip-hop influenced than R&B. But not trashy like the junk on the radio.

Still, not knowing the demographics of the "us" and "them" of whom you speak...it's hard to say.

Don't second guess it
you will have SOO much more fun a ITH then at Grease
Its such a great show
Dont even think of it as rap music [well R&B]
I personally hate it and I loved the show and music to death.
My grandmother loved it!

Go see it!

WHEN? So vague you are.

I'm not sure it really matters one side or the other.

It's just that you didn't say when you were looking to go, and you just said 'push us to go'. I'm sure you understood, but it's hard to recommend and answer quesions without specifics.

As far as the OBC, I would think so...I haven't heard that any of them will be leaving so soon. Though someone could be on vacation or sick. Those things happen.
