Posted: 11/25/08 at 8:38pmThanks in advance. Trying to treat myself and help the economy. Oh and the only requirement is that I see a musical. My last two shows have been plays.

Posted: 11/25/08 at 8:39pmYou will be a fool if you don't see gypsy. And you can probably get a discounted ticket too.

Billy is the only one that will be around for awhile....so you could DEFINITELY put that one on the back burner.
Gypsy is slated to be around longer than the other two...but I don't know how often you get to the city.
I've seen Gypsy (but I'm one that didn't love it.) and have tix for both billy and Road show at xmas.
Which will you be more dissappointed by NOT seeing it?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 11/25/08 at 8:49pmI guess Gypsy if you haven't seen it yet, but only because Billy Elliot will be around for a while and Pal Joey and Road Show are wild cards. I want to see them all.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

hmmm...I love Alexander Gemignani and Michael Cerveris, but the reviews are iffy. I like Gypsy, but feel it is dated. Billy will be around and I'm not sure about Pal Joey. Any other suggestions?
I live here, so it is not a matter of missing our per se.. I just work a lot and rarely have time off. What would you consider a real treat to take time and see?

I, personally, do not find Gypsy to be dated at all. I think it's held up incredibly well.
my vote would be for Gypsy, but I would definitely recommend seeing Billy Elliot if you have the chance. I can't speak for Road Show and Pal Joey, though.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 11/25/08 at 9:14pmGypsy, it's amazing. Billy Elliot has a lock on a few years.

Posted: 11/25/08 at 9:17pmSee two: Road Show and Gypsy! If you must choose one, choose Gypsy simply because it's the greatest production of the greatest musical ever.
#17re: Pick one: Road show, pal joey, billy, gypsy
Posted: 11/25/08 at 9:19pmGypsy definitely. Like other people have said, Billy will be around for longer and Gypsy is closing in March. It's a show that shouldn't be missed.

I saw Pal Joey recently. I thought it was a nice sugar cane treat. But nothing memorable.
Gypsy, I will suggest because it is such a Memorable experience with Patti. Personally I do not feel like it is dated at all. It has the hutspa of Incredible Energy and Divine.
I saw BE and was blown away. But like others said. "BE" will be around for a little while.
