I see about one straight play for every 8-9 musicals, so clearly I prefer the musicals. If you had asked me before I saw each play which I would prefer to see, I would have easily answered, La Cage. However, after seeing them both, I would say empahtically to see Next Fall. I most enjoy an emotional experience, and Next Fall delivers that for me. La Cage, and all of the accolades that have been piled on it, left me wanting to be moved. Instead, I just laughed, a bit. But not very much at all.
