Wife and I are visiting NYC next week... what should we see? — Page 2

I can't believe I'm saying this...but after reading this thread, I think you should see THE WEDDING SINGER.

I loved SWEENEY, but I think part of the reason why I loved it was because I had the show memorized before I walked into the theater. If you don't know the show at all, it might be confusing.

I say THE WEDDING SINGER most definitely
also you may like DROWSY CHAPERONE
and if you could get seats, I know it isnt the funniest show, but it is amazing, I'd sa THE COLOR PURPLE

but yeah, for you guys, I reccomend THE WEDDING SINGER :)

Sweeney is one of, if not the best show on Broadway right now. But if you're looking for the fun, light kind of comedy, it's probably not for you.

Judging by the shows you've seen and loved, I'd recommend either Spelling Bee or Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

I really hate threads like this, but since you're new I won't flip.

Have a nice trip!

And the chances of winning the Wicked lotto? Are you kidding me? You shouldn't be worrying about the seats themselves, but if you can get them.

I'm leaning towards Wedding Singer, DRS, or Spellingbee

Barret Foa of Avenue Q is in Spelling Bee now. The Bee is my favorite show.

I think you might enjoy Drowsy like everyone else said.

Guess htey got rid of their post..

If you're going to try for Wicked again, I think you should also try to win Spelling Bee tickets. However, DRS may be easier for you to win. DRS is a wonderful show. Enjoy!!!

thanx all... so much great advice on what shows are good and whats not.

I feel pretty certan we wont win the Wicked lottery. The only reason we're going to try it first is because its the one show my wife has been wanting to see for ages. So its a ritual for us... just to try and win them.

Whats annoying is, when we saw Hairspray, there were about 300 people trying the lottery, and both my wife and I won the lottery on our very first visit.

But every time we have tried for Wicked... we get nothing. One time there were even only about 30 people there... half the damn group won them, lol... except us.

But never hurts to try. right? :)

Arent the cancelation tickets regular priced? like $100? i guess we can try it... i jst dont wanna pay ful price cuz we're newlyweds and pretty broke... hence the reason we can only visit the city for 1 day.

but we'll see! :)

cool... thanx for the tips. i wouldnt pay regular price for Wicked I dont think... we'll try the lotto like we always do, and if that doesnt work... just head over to something else.

i dont really care if we win them or not... i just try... for the wife!

i'm checking out the pages for DRS and SB right now... they seem cool.

now if only we could find a cheap hotel! ha! talk about impossible. we always stayed at the hyatt by central station, but thats like $400 a night... why is it NYC doesnt have a single decent hotel for less than $200 a night... a rip off!

Do a search, there are tons of threads on cheap, good hotels.

we just had the biggest break! Got the Grand Hyatt Hotel through Priceline.com for $145. We have stayed there before and its a nice hotel. woo-hoo! Maybe now that we saved money, we can see more than 1 show.

See Spelling Bee! It's one of my personal favorites, and has that sort of lighthearted quirky comedy you seem to like. And Barrett Foa is fantastic in it now. :)
