I think you should see what speaks to you the most. Unless you're just trying to get another notch in your belt of "I was there at this production...", it should be whatever show you would enjoy on its own merits.
I sawPassing Strangeon my 21st birthday, and it was theperfectshow to see at that point (for many reasons). I could have seen any number of other shows that night -- more popular productions that have more street cred, and highly thought of today. But it's what spoke to me -- and I'll never regret that decision.
ETA: No one here can make this decision for you -- nor should it matter. It's subjective, not objective -- there's no "right" answer."
Thanks for the advice! I've made up my mind, I'm definitely going to do Sound of Music for my Spring Break 2027 trip and try to student rush it, and Evita will just have to wait until July!
Speaking of, has anyone heard any more updates on the Patrick Wilson/Captain von Trapp rumors since the initial chatter? It would be so wild to see him doing Rodgers & Hammerstein at LCT at the exact same time Roundabout is reviving The Full Monty just blocks away. Fingers crossed we get an official casting announcement soon!
