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.

CZJ is out the week of the 16th though...

It's the music and I'm its hapless victim

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!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"If I could only see ONE show? This wouldn't be it. "


What would be?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

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.

I 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!
