Then go for it! Lots of great organizations out there (including the National Inclusion Project) that would do wonderful things with a donation! Let us know which one you choose!
Its a holiday show with people no one really have a desire to see. If anything, Home for the Holidays showed us that tourists in the city DONT want to see a holiday show. They pick the Rockettes or any other broadway show. This will be yet another Holiday show disaster.

I immediately thought of Home For The Holidays too. Then I wondered whether someone is trying to come up with some Broadway versions of the British Christmas pantomimes that seem to be very popular for a short time around the Christmas Holidays. HFTH certainly wasn't a good start,and I can't help thinking this is going to be a disaster,if not on the epic scale of HFTH.
On what basis are we comparing this? I mean, it's clearly a cheap show to put up - like Home for the Holidays - and rent is getting paid, so I mean, from a landlord perspective it makes sense. But yes, this is a giant theater for this kind of thing and with "spectacular" in the title... is it really going to be?
Based on your experience with HFTH I can't blame you for your cynicism but I think this is not the same at all. What fun. Let's all go see it and then decide, or at least wait for the reviews.
I would love to see the dartboard where they came up with the title for this show. It must've just been a couple dozen vague entertainment and holiday related nouns. Then they threw a bunch of darts and were like "Well, I guess this is the name of the show!"

This makes me so, SO very happy!
It's such a welcomed change from the typical schoolyard bullying banter that happens when some folks disagree.
Everybody wins! At least one of you will probably see the show (the show wins, and as a result, a portion of the ticket sale goes to charity). It doesn't really matter so much who wins the bet (although someone will) because a charity will will ultimately get a donation, regardless.

You just made me find Archuletta's debut album and I am blasting CRUSH in my ears on the bus!
I would pay for the David's reunion also.
I like Ruben and I just might check the Holiday show out
"
FYI, David Archuletta has a Christmas cd coming out November 2."
I know! Wasn't crazy about his first one though. Will check this one out.

So refreshing to see this!"
I mean this with no snark:
I'm really really really really excited for this! Either way, everyone wins because money gets donated to a good cause! :)
