In the Heights vs. 10 Million Miles#1

Posted: 6/23/07 at 2:16pm

OK, so I had tickets to Tarzan on Saturday July 14th. Now that it's closing, I have an empty slot and don't know how to fill it. Except for 3 or 4 shows, I've seen everything else on Broadway or its closing by the time I get there. And I'm saving A Chorus Line for my December trip.

Between In the Heights and 10 Million Miles, what would you guys suggest? Or is there something else I'm missing?

I've heard much better things about In the Heights than 10 Million Miles.

One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...


It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

I think you'll find In the Heights is the better show.

10 million Miles DOES have Matthew Morrison though.


tough choice. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose

Neither. Go see Gypsy.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I do have opening night tickets for Gypsy already.

If I choose In the Heights, the only good seats seem to be BB MEZZ CTR. Are those good, I've never been in that space.

The theater for In the Heights is TINY... Any seat is good. I found that buying the cheaper seats in the rear mezz. were a good buy, because the show didn't sell too well and I was moved up to the front mezz. second row and center. In the Heights is a great show, too!

I'd suggest 10 Million MIles as it's a limited run. When Heights moves to Bway you'll have a chance to see it there. Maybe.......

I suggest seeing the original revival cast of A Chorus Line now and see In the Heights in December when it has moved to broadway.

But isn't it possible it won't? And even if it does, you can make off/on comparisons.

Would the typical senior citizen enjoy "In the Heights", or is it intended for a younger crowd?

Matt Morrison + Mare Winningham = 10 Million Miles

Enough said.

Unfortunately I haven't seen either but I wouldn't be much of a Patty Griffin fan if I didn't add a little "10 Million Miles" vote.
I heard Morrison and Winningham alone were reason enough to see it and it might be Winningham's last musical, you never know.
Truly Patty's music is enchanting and it would be a shame to pass it out. Also as someone mentioned, 10MM is a limited run and well... you never know if you like something before you try it, no matter what others say about it.
