What are 3 shows that I absolutely HAVE to see that will still be open?

[WithoutATrace]

Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:44pm

Tarzan, Company, LoveMusik just kidding

I would definitely say 110 in the Shade should be on that list (Audra's performance is incredible)...and maybe A Chorus Line.

I'd say 110 in the Shade, A Chorus Line and Grey Gardens. Those three would give you a good variety of broadway shows.

110 in the Shade will be closed by August, right?

I'd say 110 in the Shade, Grey Gardens, and A Chorus Line.

(And if you're going in early August like 1-12, you should check out DEUCE with Angela Lansbury, it'd be amazing to see such a broadway legend.)

[WithoutATrace]

Yes, your third show should definitely be Grey Gardens.

It's going to be late august.


So it's iffy for 110 being open? Should I just choose another?

As of now, it's closing July 31.

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 6/23/07 at 2:35pm

I hope you have a fantastic time! Good luck planning the trip! I would recommend Jersey Boys, Legally Blonde, and Wicked! Have fun!

You can see "Wicked" or "Jersey Boys" on tour so I'd skip those and go for something else.

If you can get a ticket for JB, do it. John Lloyd Young is so passionate, so innocent, in his performance.

"Wicked" you can see anytime. And, IMO, it's not a great show...very overrated.

See "Grey" and you'll be blown away by the sheer brillance of Christine Ebersole's performance! She's extraordinary!

Grey Gardens is a must! It truly is a special show.
Others I might recommend: If Frost/Nixon is still playing, go check it out (unsure of closing date)
There'll be a lot of new stuff, so you may want to take a chance on TKTS for one.
But, go see Grey Gardens.

If you care about the obc, Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are in Rent through September 9...

Grey Gardens, Spring Awakening and 110, if its open. If not, see Xanadu, it seems like it might be the hit of the summer.

really anything is amazing!!! lovemusik is awful (but thank god it's closing tomorrow), but otherwise, everything else is great and you really can't go wrong

[MarkRascati]

Posted: 6/23/07 at 8:25pm

So I'm thinking a Chorus Line, Spring Awakening, and Grey Gardens.


How about it?

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 6/23/07 at 8:31pm

Haha, I'm not one for Spring Awakening, but that's just be. You're choices are good . A Chorus Line is a fantastic choice!
