War Paint, Sunset Blvd., Come From Away or Significant Others?#1
Posted: 3/10/17 at 12:25pm

Hello!

I am traveling to the City in June and I am seeing Anastasia, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Hello Dolly. I have room for 2-3 more shows.

How would you rank these four shows by order of recommendation? I am between War Paint, Sunset Blvd., Come From Away or Significant Others.

Thank you for your suggestions. I really appropriate your help :)

1. Come From Away

2. War Paint or Significant Other

3. Sunset Boulevard (Unless you've never seen it)

"Come From Away" is an absolute must.

Now living in DC. I really have to change my name on the board.

I've not seen War Paint yet, but out of the other three Come From Away is the clear answer for me. Both other productions were very good, but I haven't told friends they must see it like I have with COME FROM AWAY.

I only have seen Sunset and Come From Away.

But Sunset is a "must"

Come From Away I enjoyed, but it's a very tiny production, that will have a long life, it will tour, it's like a 5 piece orchestra? Maybe 10? A small cast, it is a very cheap show to run. I would hardly call it a "must".

Glenn Close stars in an Andrew Lloyd Webber masterpiece with an amazing production and a 40 piece orchestra. That you will never see again if you skip it. Come From Away will run for a long time on Broadway/tour/etc. See stuff that you can only catch on Broadway...Sunset is a must! Last chance to see it before it closes in June. Come From Away will be around for years I think.

But if you have time for both, see both and then regarding the other 2 shows, I can't really comment because I haven't seen them.
