[title of show] may not be around much longer and is a gem that really shouldn't be missed.
I'd definitely recommend catching it while you still can!
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

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.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Boeing Boeing. Catch it while the original fabulous cast -- full of venerated Tony and Emmy winners -- is still around.

I had an OK time at BOEING-BOEING, but found far more extended moments of dullness than of laughter.
[title of show] is thought-provoking and funny, and as I see you're an author, Robert Taylor, you should without a doubt connect with its themes of staying true to your art's intended purpose regardless of whatever outside forces may be attempting to try to reshape it.

(tos)
Boeing Boeing is what the revival of Noises Off should have been a few years back, but I'd still go with (tos) first.

Posted: 8/11/08 at 7:59pmI loved [title of show] but I'd say Boeing-Boeing. The cast is incomparable. Also, at the stage door Bradley Whitford said that after September 7th, the cast will be changing so I would try and catch them. It's a total riot!

I found BOEING BOEING to be incredibly overrated...although Mary McCormack is worth the price of admission.
And I didn't totally love [tos] but I'd have to say [title of show].

If you want to see an overall-strong cast, Boeing Boeing would be the show for you. It is just too funny, and hello Christine Baranski!!
But, I am an avid fan of title of show as well. Do you have a preference towards musicals? Maybe that can help you make your decision?

Posted: 8/12/08 at 8:45amI really liked both of them, but if I had to choose between the two to see again, I would go with [tos]. I saw it last Saturday night and it is still resonating within me. It is funny, moving, and inspirational. While BB is truly a riot right out of the gates, [tos] is something truly unique that might not be around too much longer.
