Hi Guys!
I'm going into the city the 24th and am going to see the night perf of First date but am torn on what to see for a matinee.
Spiderman, Cinderella? I'm also open to other suggestions to rush
Thanks!

Posted: 7/16/13 at 1:05pmTo be honest I haven't seen Cinderella but I did see Spiderman and it wasn't very good. I would definetly suggest Cinderella. Enjoy whichever show you decide to see!

I will humbly admit that as a guilt pleasure I enjoyed Spiderman.
I actually listen to the Spiderman OBCR.
Saw the trainwreck V1 and V2. The improvements made the difference for me. The show is a spectacle...and as many say a trainwreck too.
Full disclosure - I have not seen Cinderella.

I actually enjoyed both shows. Cinderella has the better score in my opinion though, and the show is beautiful. The costume and transformations are quite a treat to see live. Cinderella also has a great cast.
Spiderman is a different kind of musical, its score is more rock and roll, and thus not classic like Cinderella. But I enjoyed that too. (The reason why I said Cinderella has the better score is because there are a song or two in Spiderman that I did not care for.) But that didn't matter much to me, I enjoyed the show just the same. The stunts are pretty cool too.
They are quite different, so choose the plot/style you prefer. And whichever you choose, have fun!
And Brian07663NJ, I listen to the Spiderman OBCR too! There are some songs in there that I actually really like, and I will gladly admit it! Everyone has different tastes and opinions right?

Posted: 7/16/13 at 2:23pmI haven't seen Spiderman but I was pleasantly surprised by Cinderella. It's got the fairy tale as its framework, but the book is updated and often amusing.

Cinderella!
Why? A better score, a better book, a better cast.

Posted: 7/16/13 at 3:00pmCinderella, but it really depends on what you want. Spider-Man is somewhat impressive in occasional fleeting moments. If that matters, consider flipping a coin.

Posted: 7/16/13 at 5:07pmHaven't seen Cinderella. I'm one of the few on this board that enjoyed Spider-Man, but I don't think I'd pay full price to see it again.

I have seen neither and I am not a singer nor musician.
But Danny Troob's orchestrations for CINDERELLA are so gorgeous I would happily pay to hear them even without the singers or sets.
