Hey All -

So, it's like this, I recently purchased tix to see the B'way transfer of BOEING BOEING in June. In total, that amounts to me having seen 15 of this season's offerings. I have the option (my own personal calendar offering openings) to book one more show or two (depending on specifics), totaling 16 or 17. I want ONE play and ONE musical. (Reference my signature for what I've seen already). My question to you is this: Out of these two plays which would you suggest I snag tix to? And, if applicable, a musical that would spark my interest?

Awesome, and awesome!

Re: Fuerzabruta - I'm irked with the idea of people like, crawling on me. LoL I'm not much of a 'club' kinda guy. I can get SUPER-AMAZING seats for MACBETH (in May) -- I figure I'll book those for sure -- It's getting decent seats for SOUTH PACIFIC - where I can, y'know *SEE* the stage that has me worried and confuzzled.

blaxx, my friend, as always, you're the greatest!

I've seen a few shows from up there at the Vivian Beaumont and have enjoyed them (well, that may not be true in all cases, but it's one of those theaters where far up is still a good option, IMHO).

(I didn't mention August because he had two very specific choices already.)

If the opportunity presents itself (with discount), I'd like to make AUGUST (over the summer) after it wins the TONY. Haha.

Don't fret, you're wonderful for having entertained a reply. Always greatly appreciated by this fellow.

blaxx, any inight as to 'just HOW bloody' MACBETH is going to turn-out to be? and whehter it's going to be Shakespare 'from the book', or whether an adapation is to be put-up (much like the CYRANO revival that played the Rodgers)? I only ask 'cause my ONLY exposure to the show was a) reading it in high school and b) seeing a semi-staged version by some troupe that came to said high school one afternoon. LoL

Oh, love, I might be attacked for this, but before watching Macbeth, you're watching PATRICK STEWART STARRING IN...

One of the finest Shakespearean actors of our time - that should just be enough of an experience. I saw him in A Life in the Theater and he's a joy to watch.

This reminded of how amazing it was watching those series "Playing Shakespeare" with John Barton holding a master class with Stewart, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Ben Kingsley and others. It was ridiculous how good they were.
