My mother and I are going to New York in December and we are seeing three shows. We are going to Next to Normal for sure, but I am having trouble deciding on the other two. I have narrowed it down to:
A Little Night Music(would that be approriate, I don't no much about the show? For reference, I saw A:OC with her and had no problem)
Bye Bye Birdie
Ragtime
WSS
Phantom of the Opera
Any opinions would be very helpful.
P.S- I know that Ragtime and A Little Night Music aren't open yet, so those opinions would be based soley on the material.

Impossible to guess since we don't know your likes and dislikes...but:
A Little Night Music definitely. (Mom will love it.)
I hated WSS and Phantom and wouldn't recommend either to anyone (others will disagree).
Ragtime would be my next pick.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 9/27/09 at 8:45pmYou see dramamama, I really don't have likes or dislikes. I mean the only show I have been to that I not like was ...Forum.

Well, I that info doesn't change anything.
However, if that's true...it doesn't really matter what you see.

Posted: 9/27/09 at 8:57pmI agree with Dramamama. Not much help, but, it's what I would see.

I understand, I just wanted all of your opinion on what is good. For example, if it was even open then, I wouldn't be seeing Memphis.
Oh and also, I haven't seen many shows, so thats why I haven't disliked a lot of shows.

Posted: 9/27/09 at 9:00pmI saw WSS and loved it. I know many people find flaws in it, but I really didn't. Then again, I'm not one of the those picky theater goers. I pretty much see anything.

Posted: 9/27/09 at 9:05pmI would consider HAIR as well. I'm biased, though! Bye Bye Birdie hasn't had the greatest reviews here on BWW, so I would skip it.

Posted: 9/27/09 at 9:14pmI have to suggest Finian's Rainbow, since it's one of my personal favorites. But definitely A Little Night Music and Ragtime.
