...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??

It's apples and oranges. My question for you is...what are you in the mood for?

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.

If you ask me, I'd see Grey Gardens to see a guaranteed Tony winner.

I think it might make a difference how old you are and if you like happy or sad musicals.

I'm such a bobo.

If I had to choose from AMONG the three-I would choose Les mis.

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Drowsy.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

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

I'd have to go with Drowsy, but if you have NEVER seen Les Miz then I'd go with that!

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?
