Coming to the city in Jan. for a long week-end. Already have seats for Spider-Man, Verge, and closing night of N2N. Have 2 spots left and am having a hard time deciding between the following (please help):

Driving Miss D, Scottsboro Boys, or Elling?

Thank you

Scottsborro Boys, for sure. I've heard good things about that one. So that and Driving Miss Daisy.

I haven't seen any of them but based on what a friend told me, he loved Scottsboro Boys and Elling. They are the two I would see. I know Driving Miss Daisy has two great actors in it but it is the least of the three I would see. And I saw Jones in "Robeson" way back in the late 70's.

I agree: The Scottsboro Boys is NOT to be missed. However, I haven't seen either of the other two but from OTHER'S opinions: Elling. (

I'm not as big a fan of SCOTTSBORO as most other folks here seem to be, but between these three... I'd probably see it again.

don't leave New York without seeing Scottsboro boys!!!

I've seen Elling, but not Miss Daisy, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend Elling. So there you have that

I've seen all three. And I say Scottsboro and Elling. Driving miss daisy is noting special, and will be around again eventually. Elling is quite funny and unique.

I agree with (most) everyone. do not miss THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS.

Here's an endorsement: I had a press comp for Wednesday's performance, and after seeing it went and bought another ticket for tonight! Yes, it was THAT good.

Everyone and their mother should see The Scottsboro Boys! I saw it last night and was blown away. I just wish Josh Henry's voice was on the CD!!

I didn't love SCOTTSBORO, but I'd still tell you to go see it. So that and DAISY, for sure.

I agree that you should go see Scottsboro Boys.

I hated Scottsboro, but not as much as Elling. If you MUST choose 2 from that list, go with Driving Miss Daisy and Scottsboro.

Haven't seen Daisy yet, but DEFINITELY Scottsboro and I liked Elling.

Scottsboro and Daisy. But definitely Scottsboro. I saw it today for the 2nd time and enjoyed it even more. I know I'll be going back a few more times.

OK - thanks for the help -

I'm going to do Scottsboro Boys on Sunday Matinee and then Monday will see the first 50 minutes of BBAJ (so I can say I saw it) and then run over for all of DMD -

thanks - so looking forward to my trip -

Scottsboro Boys hands down. Seldoml am I blown away going to the theatre. This blew me away.

[themysteriousgrowl]

Posted: 11/22/10 at 1:51pm

I would definitely not, however, skip the second half of BBAJ (ew) for DMD.

Yeah, it sounds like your problem is solved. See Scottsboro and then all of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.
