Though I love it, I think it's not the brightest idea to move tiny little [title of show] to such a big broadway house.
So, I'm gonna have to go with Equus ans Shrek (can't wait to see which way that'll go)
Billy Elliot definitley
and isn't Vanities coming in the fall??
and I'm not particularly interested in seeing it, but I am interested in seeing how well Shrek is going to do

I could never pick between [title of show] or Billy Elliot. Two of my all-time favorites.
]title of show] - I haven't seen it but [tos]ers love it and it seems like my kind of show
Billy Elliot - My sister saw it in the West End and LOVED it, so I really want to see it. And I love the movie.
Shrek The Musical - Amazing cast. Brilliant. I NEED to see this.
9 to 5 - Another amazing cast. I also NEED to see this one.
[tos]!
[title of show]
Shrek
Dividing the Estate
A Tale of Two Cities
(In order)
[title of show] definately, Shrek looks interesting...wait and see on that one.

I'm looking forward to Billy Elliot most. I'll probably get around to checking out a couple of the other shows, but Billy Elliot is the one I'm definitely getting tickets to.
Aside from 13, you're also missing American Buffalo and Orphans with Al Pacino. Both of those are supposed to open in the Fall, no?
not sure why so many are doubting SHREK. and you're ONLY going to see it for the cast? really? this isn't a Mel Brooks musical...
this is no Disney Theatricals creation either.
it's Dreamworks. it's Tesori. it's Moore. they mean business!
the extremely fabulous score, amazingly creative costumes/sets, and fresh new book will make SHREK great. the all-star cast is just a bonus!
After seeing Tale of Two Cities in Florida I'm excited for Tale of Two Cities but my excitement is starting to wan a bit as controversy swirls around the show. I'm more worried about it now. I still love the show - it's a GREAT show. But I have my concerns.
Well, TooDarnHot, differnt people like different things.
The story of Shrek (book-based or otherwise) doesn't really interest me. I outgrew fairytales long ago. But the cast does. You're interested in it for more than the cast, that's fine. At this point I'm not. Doesn't mean I won't end up loving it, but my primary reason will be for the cast ~ and only some of them at that. (No, Sutton is not included in that list. She's not a favorite but one I tolerate.)
OTOH, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of Billy Elliot when I saw it in London and DO happen to think it's spectacular. You don't, and that's fine because we obviuosly come at it from diffeernt backgrounds and angles.
For me, that's the beauty of theatre...shows touch and inspire people ~ or fail to ~ for different reasons. And that's OK. :)

ON THE TOWN AND 13
Billy Elliot and [tos], followed by Shrek. (But 9 to 5 is definitely my number one...though not on the original list!)
Equus = Pottheads. Pottheads = BARF!
