Some Like It Hot or New York, New York? — Page 2

I can imagine not loving NYNY, but I can't imagine thinking anything worse than "that was fine if forgettable". People are talking about NYNY like it's the second coming of In My Life. The hatred is so outsized it beggars belief."



Wow. This never occurred to me. I had heard this was a Rudin trick but did not know it was more widely done. How sad.

While I'm sure this is very real, the criticism of this show is coming from regular Board users, who are quite obviously not paid shills. Try again.

Neither. Go for Shucked, &Juliet, or even Bad Cinderella instead.

I found SLIH enjoyable but safe and slightly boring. It was like 10 good minutes of material repeated over and over again.

NYNY is thrilling and a bit messier - sort of like the city I guess. I felt more and the spectacle took me away. Definitely the best set on Broadway and my favourite arrangements.

I kinda agree. Shucked is easy laughs and silly fun, &Juliet is one of my fave new shows and Bad Cinderella is growing in stature after watching SLIHot and NY, NY. They just left me cold.

Out of these two, I would also prefer Some Like It Hot.

But I have seen Bad Cinderella and I'm usually an ALW fan, but this was crap!"

It will be interesting to know what you think after watching it.
