What other show should I see on my Birthday??

Posted: 8/18/05 at 2:06pm

Well I'm going to NYC the day before my Bday this month, for some shows. It'll be saturday. So matinee, and evening.

I am DEFINITELY going to see DRS for the evening.

But for the matinee I've narrowed it down to..

The Producers
Hairspray
Rent
Doubt

Which would you reccommend?

Depends if you have seen any of these shows before.

When in doubt I always go with RENT.

Go with RENT if you want something to contrast with DRS.

actually, if she wants something to contrast with DRS she should see Doubt.

I'd go with Rent or Doubt, since you're seeing a comedy in the evening!

I always like to see a play and a musical if I can only pick two. Go with Doubt.

Well, I'd be torn between RENT and HAIRSPRAY, but they are my two favorite Broadway musicals, so it is a hard choice !

Crap. I think it's between DOUBT and The Producers.

DOUBT dosen't really seem like a happy go lucky see it on your birthday show - but I've been dying to see it.

hmmm.

Look at it this way---Doubt is closing fairly soon, whereas the Producers will play for a while longer, with the movie coming out in December.

Dirty Rotton Scondrals... The Producers, Beauty and the Beast is always great.... I'd save rent for when u've got nothing else to do cause u can get those lottery tickets cheap.

I would see RENT if I was in your position... because the current cast is really great, and I have no idea how good the Hairspray cast is right now. Obviously, I would reccommend Light in the Piazza over everything else, especially because Piazza is SO different than Piazza. Anyway, from your list my order would be: RENT, Hairspray, Producers, Doubt. [I'm not big into plays, but I've heard a lot of good things about Doubt... so my last two I have no idea about]

Good luck choosing!
