Hello there
Well, I hate to be one of those people who starts a "What should I see?" thread, but I just need some opinions.
Next week I'm flying in on Saturday (the 25th), and as I've said before, am seeing THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING that night. So I'm trying to decide if I should either see JERSEY BOYS or LEGALLY BLONDE that afternoon.
JERSEY BOYS: This is the only show besides AVENUE Q that I haven't seen on Broadway, but there's a reason why because the story doesn't sound all that interesting to me. I like the music, though, and listen to most of the songs on the cast recording. But I feel this is one of those shows that you "need" to see because, well, its JERSEY BOYS and it won Best Musical. But I'm wondering if the cast is worth seeing, now that most of them have been in the show for almost 2 years and might be a little strained? And this show has standing room, correct? Because its near impossible to find seats on Telecharge, so that'd be my only option.
LEGALLY BLONDE: I saw this show back in May- I didn't care for it a whole lot, but still had an enjoyable time. I mainly liked it because of the music and the cast (mostly Laura Bell, though). But I can find a lot better seats for this than for JERSEY BOYS, and this would probably be the only oppertunity I'll have to see it for another year or so, because of the overload of shows opening. And by then Laura Bell would be gone, and I wouldn't have any interest in seeing it again.
So yeah, now that I gave my descriptions, which one do you think I should see? I know most everyone will say JERSEY BOYS due to the amount of dislike LEGALLY BLONDE has on this board, but I just need some honest opinions about what you all think would be better :)
Sorry to bug you, and thank you everyone
