I need to decide on whether to see 110 in the Shade or Company. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

like jordangirl, COMPANY didn't do much for me.

Company.

110 in the Shade is a great production, and Audra is wonderful, but the musical itself is....bleh. Not a great score, a trite cutesy story... I didn't care for it. Plus, I hate singing cowboys (*hides*)

Company's an inventive production of a masterpiece. And Raul Esparza is superb.

theperformer, is there a reason why you can't see both? There are affordable ticket options for both shows. Or is it a time issue?

I haven't gotten to see 110 yet, but whatever -- see Company. That show exemplifies the reasons why we go to the theater. You don't want to miss it.

The only reason to see 110 is Audra McDonald; the show is pretty lousy, as is a good deal of the production and the cast besides Audra.

Company is the best thing I've seen on Broadway, and as much as I love Audra, I think some of Raul's work in Company is a notch above what Audra is doing in 110.

See Company.

Agreed. I'd see Company.

I would have to say 110 but please PLEASE if you have the oppurtunity to see more...go see Company. Raul, as everyone has already said, is beyond amazing and the production is wonderful and lord knows it needs as many butts in the seats as it can get. But IF you'd have to choose, I'd go with 110 just because it's a gorgeous production of a really beautiful show (IMO) with a superb cast and Audra is at her best and there is NOTHING like seeing this woman at the top of her game.

Company. IMHO, there's only one reason to see 110, Audra. People may say the same thing about Raul/Company, but even if you dislike Doyle's direction, there's still the magnificent score/book. I personally adore the production.
