#1THE KING & I, IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU, or GIGI?
Posted: 2/21/15 at 7:30pmI'm about to buy tickets for my annual trip to NYC. I'm defientely planning on seeing On the 20th Century. And my last show is either going to be THE KING & I, IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU, or GIGI. I want to see ISBY for Sierra Boggess and it looks like a fun show, but I want something more richer. THE KING & I is such a classic and I would love to see Kelli O'Hara as Anna. And GIGI looks like a very nice show too (and also a classic). Any recommendations?

Posted: 2/21/15 at 7:35pmPersonally, I recommend The King & I.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur

King and I.
It is, as known quantity as I Kelli Ohara
It Should is slight and Gigi does not sound that great from preview reports.

All shows are not created equally. The King and I is one of the best musicals you will see in your life.

I'd imagine it would be hard to say for sure which will be best, as only one has really been seen as it will be on Broadway.
That being said, KING AND I is a solid show, and if SOUTH PACIFIC is any indication will be an absolutely glorious production. It's probably worth going just to hear that score with a full orchestra.

This is a monumental first .... a near consensus on Broadwayworld's message board !!(up until the time of this posting at least)
My order would be:
1)King and I
2)Gigi
3)It Shoulda Been You
(just too many bad reviews and comments from people who saw its recent non-Broadway run)
