I loved The Apple Tree...I think it was beautiful, but I am in the minority on that one.
Grey Gardens is worth seeing for Ebersole.

The Drowsy Chaperone is an excellent show for someone who's alreaddy seen Jersey Boys. (EDIT; Nevermind, didn't see that) But what is your mom like? Is she conservative? Liberal? Knowing her sensibilities would help.
Company might be good, seeing as how it deals with marrige. Some other all-around good shows include . . .
Adrift in Macao (Off-Broadway)
110 in the Shade
Curtains
Hairspray

IF she's conservative take her to Talk Radio.
#15re: what to take a mom to see
Posted: 2/22/07 at 3:15pmI took my mom to see Hairspray for her first bway show--it's a pretty safe bet I'd say.
#16re: what to take a mom to see
Posted: 2/22/07 at 3:17pmHairspray sounds like a good bet, as do A Chorus Line and Les Miserables. Personally, I didn't like Apple Tree.

Is your mom too conservative for Avenue Q?

An off-Broadway sensation in 1987, Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio is headed to Broadway in a new production starring Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber. Controversial late-night radio host Barry Champlain is preparing to expand his popular talk show from Cleveland to a nationwide audience. On one memorable night, Champlain faces a variety of challenging callers and reveals his true feelings on the air live.
I think the suggestion was a joke.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 3:24pmMamma Mia seems to be love it or hate it. I hated it, but I know a lot of people who loved it. Also, if you're considering off-Broadway, think about Altar Boyz.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 3:24pmMamma Mia is prob okay too then...Spelling Bee might be too.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 3:25pmMama Mia is a mixed bag ... some people love it, some people hate it. I enjoyed MM, but am also a huge ABBA fan. If your mom likes ABBA music, she would probably have a great time at MM, but if she doesn't like their music, don't waste your time.
