AVENUE Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A sweet show that I definately recommend...see it! But make sure your of age, and not expecting a real professional show:)

Also if you've got any cash left over drop into AIDA before it closes.

Tours are not the same like some think. See as many in New York as you can.

Little Women will be in previews in December - Sutton Foster is going to be in it. She is such a gem.

1) AVENUE Q - since you're already seeing a big brassy musical (Wicked), get some variety and see a small, witty one!

2) BARE - A super-talented cast doing a really heartwrenching show in an (*cross fingers*) intimate space. It's like finding a jewel in the rough.

3) HAIRSPRAY - I list this third only because it's on tour and you may catch it in your hometown. Pure, delicious delight.

Another vote for Avenue Q! Such a fun show.

You wouldn't think so woth the box office stats. But, it has the Lloyd Webber-Cameron Mackintosh-Trevor Nunn family fortune supporting it. For all we know, he could be taking a few deposites out of PHANTOM's returns for BOMBAY DREAMS.

Pacific Overtures is starting previews November 12 and opening December 2, and I absolutely can't wait. It's got one of Sondheim's most fascinating scores and has the potential to be a really gorgeous production.

Or, you might want to try some plays- Twelve Angry Men, Gem of the Ocean, and Democracy all sound interesting and open in November.

Of the existing musicals, Avenue Q and Hairspray would be my reccomendations. The plays I like all seem to be closing, but catch I am My Own Wife if you can.
