Spring trip to NYC — Page 2

I saw Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me, The King and I, Shuffle Along, Hamilton, The Color Purple and Daddy Long Legs on my last trip to NY a few weeks ago and you can't go wrong with any of them. All great shows in their own way.

I caught Something Rotten last year and that was super as well. Seeing as much of the original cast (rather than seeing it on tour) would be my suggestion as they all clicked so well and made for an amazing show. An American in Paris was also really good....saw it last year. As was Fun Home.

Have fun!

Tuck could get harder if the show is catching on with good reviews and good word of mouth, as of right now it's probably easy enough since everybody who could got the $20 tickets they offered for previews.

I don't know about SoR recently. It was terrible over the holidays, but that's special and doesn't really speak for how the lines are now.

I would not forget She Loves Me..sometimes good seats get released last minute.

I'll be in NYC beginning of June and was hoping to see The Color Purple too - mainly because the chances of a West End transfer look unlikely (as opposed to School of Rock and Hamilton) and I'm a huge OITNB fan. For those that have seen it, do you think it'll suffer without Jennifer Hudson? I was just wondering how large her role is and if her absence will mean the show is somewhat weaker.

Well I bought a ticket for she loves me over fiddler due to the start time and my flight out Sunday night



i will rush in morning either for tuck or fiddler for my 2pm choice. Now just which one. Ha

I'd chose to see a new, original show over the Fiddler revival which you'll be able to see a really good productions of regionally or on tour. Tuck was beautiful, saw it 2 days ago. I was in tears at the end (and I'm not much of a crier). It has very cute story, beautiful set and I loved the music. Also, it's the girl playing the at age 11, and 8 times a week, is pretty incredibly. She really carries the show! It IS a show aimed at families and kids though, so be aware of that. Which of course doesn't mean that other age grounds can't enjoy it like I did.
