decision- N2n or ragtime

Posted: 12/23/09 at 12:18pm

Sooo... I've seen n2n twice and love it... know it by heart. I was just in Ragtime for 5 weeks and know it by heart. I live in AZ and don't get to NYC much, but am going with my sis this weekend. Should I see n2n again knowing she would love it, or see Ragtime? Or is something else a must-see? Thanks!

If you have already seen Next to Normal twice..go with Ragtime. It is excellent!

If you've seen Next to Normal twice, I would say go to Ragtime, assuming you love it just as much, because although you say you know the show very well, you do not know this production, while you know the production of Next to Normal you would see.

Why not ask your sister's opinion?

Finian's...

(but if you MUST choose between those two, N2N on a day when Alice is out).

If you've already seen Next to Normal, then Ragtime for sure.

I am a huge Next to Normal fan, but if you've seen it twice, definitely go with Ragtime - it's a great production!

I love them both, and find them both really powerful and moving, but I have to say Ragtime because you're already seen Next to Normal twice, and should not miss the chance to see this production of Ragtime. You won't regret it. It's beautiful.

Ragtime. You might not have many more opportunities to see it.
