I can see one show on a 8 hour layover next week - I'm struggling with what to choose - part of me wants to see Night Music but for the wrong reason - i.e. the performers not so much the rendition -
what would you do?
many thanks -

If you want to see Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury live, then definitely see it.

I think it depends on many things: how often do you get to NY? what else are you considering? how important is seeing THEM?
Personally, I thought the show was very good, but not stupendous. If I could only see ONE show? This wouldn't be it.
But a whirlwind great way to see a show!

Tough call, actually.
Of what I've already seen? I'd reccommend N2N, methinks. So emotional, so intense, so one of a kind.
But I am careful with my recommendations and try to tailor them to the recipient.
Please note: I wouldn't advise AGAINST the show by any means.

Posted: 2/5/10 at 4:38pmI JUST saw it on Tuesday and thought it was GLORIOUS. It's not perfectly cast (IMHO), but Angela is NOT to be missed. CZJ is fine but not as comfortable in the genre as I expected. If you've never seen ALNM, I'd say GO FOR IT!
