Seconded. Or Waitress. Or Kinky Boots. Or Angels.

From what I've been hearing of the two, My Fair Lady.

I’ve seen all three musical revivals and I think with as much love as I have for Once on this Island, if you’re choosing between the two golden age musicals, go with My Fair Lady. It was a pleasant surprise.

Nothing irks me more than when someone asks for advice in choosing between two choices and one person answers with a choice that the original person did not mention. If they were open for other suggestions they would have said so.

Saw both this past weekend.

My Fair Lady by a country mile.

But Carousel has Lindsay Mendez! Surely she's much better than that boring MFL score with it's bad book scenes.

Carousel wasn’t good either. I wouldn’t see either production again, even for free.

Also, I would personally rather know if none of the shows I was considering were going to be the best choice. It’s what I would recommend to a family member or friend, so why not here. If you want to still go, go.

Carousel:

Positives:
Singing— J Henry / L Mendez fabulous,
Cast— Top shelf, incl J Mueller and R Fleming,
Choreography— Best on Bway by J Peck,
Dancing— Strong ensemble with two NYC Ballet standouts in principal roles of Jigger and Louise,
Orchestration — Wow,
Storyline/Music by Rogers & Hammerstein; spectacular songs including You’ll Never Walk Alone (guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes)

Negatives:
Still in previews and seems to be changing a little each day,
Long at 2 hrs 40 minutes,
Dated,
Sets not overly elaborate.

My vote: Carousel
