We have tickets to see THE BOOK OF MORMON- but, looking for other suggestions of shows to see... How would you rank the following shows next to eachother: ONCE, GHOST, COCK, NEWSIES, WAR HORSE... (also, if you have seen the show, mention ideal seating!

Thanks!

Haven't seen Cock:

1.) Once - it's in a small intimate theatre and apparently apart from a few seats that are sold as horribly obstructed, everything seems good.
2.) War Horse - not a bad seat in the house, a beautiful place to see a show.
3.) Newsies - Avoid rear orchestra or extreme sides because the set is tall.
4.) Ghost - Avoid extreme sides. (but really, avoid at all costs!)

Once
War Horse
Newsies



I haven't seen Cock but heard mostly good things.
I haven't seen Ghost but have heard mostly negative things.

Once
War Horse
Newsies
Ghost (I liked it more than most, but the other three are admittedly better)

I haven't seen Cock, but I've heard great things. On my list!

I recommend Nice Work If You Can Get It...and out of the shows you mentioned, I only saw Once and I disliked it.

Newsies- ok
Ghost- cheesy but acceptable
War Horse- spectacular staging but a downer

Avoid the other two like the plague.

Far better options: One Man, Nice Work, Anything Goes.
