[title of show], Tale Of Two Cities, 13, and expecially Shrek.

[East Village]

Posted: 5/18/08 at 6:55pm

Maybe I'm a kill joy but not too excited about anything yet.

I'll take my parents to see Billy Elliott.

I got tickets for Equus, but have serious reservations about it being very pedo-creepy with Radcliffe and Griffiths

HAIR at NY Shakespeare Festival

[East Village]

Posted: 5/18/08 at 7:08pm

O.K. Totally changed my mind. I am excited about HAIR -- last year's concert was magical.

Shrek because I'm very interested. It could be very good.

Billy Eliot looks great

I'm with East Village, nothing here really interests me.

I guess I'd like to see Equus.

Equus

Eris, don't worry about what anyone else has to say, or any controversies--If you liked Tale in Sarasota, why should you not get to see it in Bway, in all its splendor...?! Stand by what YOU believe, not others.
Just think of the people who might not like "you";should what they think about you prevent others from getting to know you? Or should we just take the word of those who dislike you and lose you? :[

not on the list, but my under the radar pick is the new Shanley/Kreiger musical at MTC, Romantic Poetry.

I feel that the anticipation for the mega-shows we all know about leads to unfulfilled expectations, I'm curious what next season's passing strange or spelling bee will be.

[title of show]!!

Followed by Merrily We Roll Along and Shrek

9 to 5. Dolly Parton writing music & lyrics + Joe Mantello directing + that great cast pushes 9 to 5 to the top of my list. I was planning a trip to L.A. sometime this year and decided on mid October to catch the out of town tryout. Single seats for the L.A. preview are on sale June 3rd. Hopefully decent seats will be available.

Billy Elliot. I bought the London cast recording years ago and never listened to it. I'm not sure why. I did hear two songs from Billy Elliot on digital cable Broadway music channel that sounded great. I have tickets for late November. I'm glad the producers released center orchestra seats at standard orchestra prices. Hopefully this trend will continue on Broadway.

Merrily We Roll Along. It's in my top ten favorite musicals. Hopefully it will equal or better Roundabout's productions Assassins, The Apple Tree, 110 In the Shade.

Shrek. To see Sutton Foster.

BILLY ELLIOT
PAL JOEY
THE MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO
THIRTEEN

And, hopefully, the visit of THE VISIT to Broadway.

Equus = Pottheads. Pottheads = BARF!

Except that the play itself has nothing to do with Harry Potter. That would be one of the cast members. Dismissing a play or a production on the basis that one cast member is popular for something completely unrelated is not only immature, but totally illogical.

I'm actually looking most forward to Equus simply for the mostly rave reviews it received in London. It's one of my favorite plays having seen an electrifying production in Houston many years ago.

I would also love the opportunity to see a quality production of On the Town as it is seldom performed.

And having seen Billy Elliot a couple of months ago in London, I'm excited for all those who will have the opportunity to see it for the first time on Broadway. Before I saw the show, I heard the cast recroding and found it somewhat interesting, but it failed to get me interested in seeing the show. I am so glad I did. I completely get the hype and now I can hardly get through the CD without getting choked up. Prepare yourselves for a huge smash hit, folks. This is one of the best British musicals ever written and is very nearly perfect.

If they do a good job with it - and that's a big IF, I really want to see Shrek

Let's hope THE VISIT transfers...

It's going to be interesting to look at this thread in a year and see what we were most disappointed by :)

To hell with [tos]

[WestVillage]

Posted: 5/19/08 at 1:04pm

Billy Elliot (saw it in London and loved it) and Equus.

I have no interest in Shrek or [tos], and the others on the OP's list are hit or miss.

[EponineAmneris]

Posted: 5/19/08 at 2:13pm

BILLY ELLIOT

And I am soooooo curious as to how Daniel and EQUUS will do here on Broadway...

[thatgirl712]

Posted: 5/19/08 at 2:19pm

I'd also go with Pal Joey.
