I know they are two completely different productions. however, an opportunity has come up , and I can pick which one to see. I am a McPherson and O'Byrne fan, but also enjoy anunconventional musical...any advice is appreciated.
That's a tough one. I truly enjoyed them both so much. I think I would advise Shining City (though I'm still haunted by the music of Spring Awakening and I saw it weeks ago). Maybe Spring Awakening will be extended again or move to Bway, so there's always the possibility you might be able to catch it later.
I agree with Esparzafan. Shining City is closing next month, and Spring Awakening looks like it'll have a future, so I'd chose Shining City. They're both great choices, so you won't be disappointed with whichever you chose.
