Yes another "what should I see post." So I thought Spring Awakening would have a matinee due to it being "mud week" and all. But nope. So of the following shows that I haven't seen, what would you pick... I live in the city, but my husband is working and really want to treat myself. I love the actors in Mermaid, but kind of hate disney. Same with young frankensten.. would love to see the actors, hate mel brooks movies.
Xanadu
Little Mermaid
Cat
Sunday
Sheba (love S. Epatha)

Posted: 2/18/08 at 12:24pmAs others have said, Sunday, Mermaid will be around awhile and will probably get a tour eventually.

Posted: 2/18/08 at 12:51pmYes, but the OBC of Mermaid won't be there forever!

Posted: 2/18/08 at 1:08pmack. is the OBC of mermaid that good? I am so torn. It is pretty evenly split. I love sherie rene scott and norm lewis. hrm. i am pretty much an obc snob living here and all. I would never see it after they leave. im just not sure.

I would say Mermaid, but everyone's right, it will be around for a while. Even if you don't see the OBC, I'm sure you would have a good time. Also, since you live in the city you can probably go any other time.
See Sunday or Xanadu.

If you have not seen Sunday in the Park with George onstage. Go see it.. It's just plain brilliant. The scenic design & projections are worth the price of admission!

Posted: 2/20/08 at 4:59pmThank you all for your advice and well wishes. I ended up seeing drum roll... Xanadu!! And in the second row!! I totally did this after reading Cheyenne's blog today and after an unexpected rough day yesterday--work issues on my vacation.grr. I needed a comedy and after reading his blog I really wanted to support this cast. What a treat! This was actually recommended to me by a friend whose birthday is the day before mine. We're both Leos and he totally knew I would love the camp and over-the-topness. I just can't say enough about the humor-- I cracked up at Kerry Butler's accent every time. I also never knew how beautiful Cheyenne's is. He is so talented. And even more entertaining, I sat next to this middle-aged woman who had the hots for him. Every time he came on stage she would say "oh, my.. yum yum. look at those legs." So funny. This is a show I would see again, definitely.
