Like many others here I shall be at Grey Gardens. The short run is such a shame. to see two performers in the role of a lifetime for the price of one ticket is rare. Also there will be other journeys for the other plays but this wll be hard to replicate.

I'm seeing 110. I liked the others, but as I said in the other post, they just didn't move me like 110 did.
Beauty would be my second choice.

Posted: 7/27/07 at 7:30pmGrey Gardens, without a doubt. I only recently discovered it and I'm really disappointed that I never got to see it live.

Posted: 7/27/07 at 7:31pmDid not get my Grey Gardens ticket in time, so I will probably see Gypsy, just to displace my need to be at the closing of GG. We'll see. I might end up general rushing 110, since I, for some reason that confuses even me, enjoyed 110 more than Gypsy. *ducks*

Posted: 7/27/07 at 7:38pmso... why do producers do this? is it intentional? why did they have to choose all these shows to close on the same night... will they lose money if a show is open one or two more days? i'm just wondering... regardless of what you think of the show i wouldn't want to be competing on a special night... know what i mean?

Posted: 7/27/07 at 8:51pmI wish I could see Grey Gardens before it closes, but I can't. I'm seeing Gypsy on Sunday.

As much as I enjoyed Grey Gardens, I'd have to go with Gypsy. I couldn't take seeing them both in the same day . . . again.
I nearly died.

Grey Gardens and Beauty- it's a Sunday.

Posted: 7/27/07 at 10:43pmTough question, but I'd pick Grey Gardens. Christine and Mary Louise were absolutely divine, and this show is unlikely to be revived anytime soon.

#45why make people choose?
Posted: 7/27/07 at 11:00pmTough. But I think I would choose Gypsy because it's such a legendary performance.
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

3:00 GREY GARDENS
5:45 walk dog
6:15 feed dog
7:00 GYPSY

Posted: 7/28/07 at 2:44amI would absolutely be at Grey Gardens but I don't live in the city. I'm so sad that it's closing.
