i hate this kind post, but Help...

I'm almost definitely making a spur of the moment, whirlwind trip to NYC this weekend (what can I say, i'm in a New York state of mind), and I'm having a some slight difficulty choosing shows to see--I've got time for 3. I've seen many of the shows from last season and before, so I'm basically interested in newer shows. Assassins is definitely on the list, and was thinking of Caroline or Change, Wonderful Town (only if Donna is in!), Raisin in the Sun, or Frozen. Dont know a whole lot about these 4 shows, so I'd be going into each of them fresh. Anything on this list that's definitely a *MUST SEE*? Anything I've forgotten that's a *MUST SEE*? Feel free to email me if you dont want to take up space on the board.

Thanks in advance.

i can understand your mentality, willparker ("what can i say, im in a new york state of mind") haha.

i havnt seen it, but ive heard that "frozen" is in danger of closing, so if you want to see it, you may want to hurry, but varify that info. before you make your decision, coming from me it is only word-of-mouth

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

All good choices. I personally would not do WONDERFUL TOWN.
BARE closes at the end of this month you must catch that if you can. I know they have been sold out.

Assassins and Normal Heart.
Wonderful Town is an excellent choice also.

I would choose Assassins, Wonderful Town (Donna is awesome), and Caroline. Just another voice heard from.

Have you seen "Avenue Q" or "Wicked"? If not, try to catch one or both (if you have to chose between the two...see Avenue Q). I've heard great things about Assassins, and mixed on Wonderful Town. Frozen I also hear is fantastic, and I've heard GREAT things about "Match."
If I were you I'd try: Assassins, Avenue Q, and Match or Frozen.
Have fun!

Definatly The Normal Heart.
To see Bare, all you have to do is just turn on Everwood or some other feel good WB program turn off the sound and play the soundtrack to RENT.Insta-BARE

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

I've heard great things about all those shows but if you're intent on seeing Assassins, I'd suggest complimenting it with Avenue Q. You'll get a dark thoughtful show and a hysterical thoughtful show. Just a suggestion from the peanut gallery re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

thanks for the suggestions folks! fyi, i've seen Avenue Q multiple times (woohoo!), and have seen Wicked (blah).

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

I would definately go with CAROLINE and FROZEN. Both are incredible.

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

from what i understand (i told you i know very little about these shows, with the exception of Assassins), Caroline, Frozen & Normal Heart are all very intesne & dark. If i saw two of the above plus Assassins, would I want to stick a gun in my mouth by the end of the second day? :)

Go see Caroline and tell me about it. I've heard absolutely nothing about it expect that it's really good and Tonya shines. Details peps details!
BTW: Love your Corky St.Clair quote! Waiting for Guffman is one of my favorite movies ever! I wonder if Bonnie knows Rod's girlfriend who lives in Canada?

re: i hate this kind post, but Help...

Of course they knew each other. They went shopping for pant suits together.

WillParker, its worth just leaving the gun at home to see ASSASSINS and THE NORMAL HEART....or empty the chamber....but catch the shows

HAVE A GOOD TIME

If anyone else is seeing any of these on those performances, let me know & i'll say hi! would like to say hey to other folks on here from the city...put faces with witty posts & that sort of thing...

Donna Murphey is incredible in Wonderful Town. Make sure that she's in it that day before you buy the tickets. Wicked is the must see show. Little Shop is a great one from this season too.

Ruffian, If I had that type of power ( To call Donna to be in on Tuesday) I'd use it for real good!! Like front row center tickets ALL THE TIME!!

Well there is much to choose from:
Avenue Q- A must see (funny, sweet, edgy and clever)
Caroline Or Change A very smart and wonderful musical (I have yet to see the Broadway version but the Off Broadway version was a must see.
Wonderful Town- I love this show and the entire cast are terrific, especially Donna Murphy.
The Normal Heart- A heart wrenching journey that moved me.
Frozen- A brilliant show Swoozie is outstanding.
