...between Mary Poppins, Les Miz, and Drowsy, what would you see???
I am going to NYC in April and I almost never get to go because I live in NC, so.. I know these shows are very different, but what would you choose??

All three of the shows are completely diffrent.
Les Miz - If you are in the mood for a big spectacle/drama.
Drowsy - If you are in the mood for a great original musical comedy.
Mary Poppins - If you are in the mood for a big, lavish, good, disney show.
Personaly, I would go see CURTAINS.
ThankstoPhantom

Posted: 3/7/07 at 5:17pmI think it might make a difference how old you are and if you like happy or sad musicals.

Of those three shows, only one is on my schedule of "shows to see!!!" when I get to New York next. And that's 'Les Miserables'. But I would most likely recommend 'Mary Poppins' without any further context. 'Les Mis' can be kinda heavy-going, and 'Drowsy' I hear can be a bit hit-and-miss for individuals. They're both grand if you're really into theatre, but (even though you're posting on a theatre site ;D) I don't know if you are. So 'Mary Poppins' is my safe recommendation. Plus it's wonderful. :3

Posted: 3/7/07 at 7:50pmI'd have to go with Drowsy, but if you have NEVER seen Les Miz then I'd go with that!
