Seeing a broadway show

My choir and i are going to NY this winter (dec. 26-jan.2). I am very excited b/c we are seeing spamalot, piazza, spelling bee, and sweeny todd. There is an extra night we have avaliable and there are 3 show options. (DRS is not one of them b/c it is too risque...don't worry, i will find a way out of that.) The show options are hairspray, rent, and phantom of the opera. I have seen all three before and was just wondering what the shape of the casts were...who you like better, what cast has the best vibe.

So what show should i see?

well it looks like other than the roles of mark and roger, rent is almost the same cast as last year...

our only three options are rent, hairspray, and poto...i would kill to see fb but these are all that the ticket person are giving us...i don't really know how it works.

going to see the extra show would be about 15 of us

I've recently seen both Rent and Hairspray, and I would have to recommend Rent. The Hairspray cast was just "ok" to me, and the Rent cast was probably the second-favorite I've seen, next to the original cast. Even though so many of them have been in it for so long, there is still a great energy to the show. And well...I just love Cary Shields.

My three friends and I who went have seen it a combined total of about twenty times (13 for me) and we all said it was one of our favorite casts.

Guys, the person said there were ONLY three options that they could get tickets to...no off-broadway play or ballet. Out of those three options, I'd say go with RENT but I might be biased

hmmm...

i say hairspray.

your friends will all be obsessed with RENT once they see the film anyway.
