Ok so I'm going to NYC in about June here are shows I'm going to see:

Promises, Promises
Lips Together, Teeth Apart
Wicked(I know! Don't say anything. Just ignore)
Next To Normal
and
Billy Elliot.

So here's really the point of my thread.
What are you going to go see the next time you either visit New York or go to the theatre?

not Wicked... seeing Wicked is kind of a waste of a show to me. My time in New York is always valuable and I see as many shows as possible. There are just too many shows on Broadway that are way more worth the time and money.

Addams Family
Spider Man

This thread is going to give me a headache... I can just tell.

"THEN WHY DID YOU OPEN IT??? WAH WAH WAH??"

Because... Look at the f*cking title - it's so Broadway. Literally. Hey, Stephanie fan person, please rephrase & change. I beg of you.

Thank you! xoxoxo


When I think about you, I touch myself.

Stephanie Fan....don't change a thing. Now to answer your question... I'd like to see: "Looped" with Valerie Harper, "La Cage" (to see what Nick Adams does) and maybe "Addams Family". I'd like to go to NYC sometime in June... where summer will be nice and warm.. even hot is better than now (where it's 20 F here). I might even see an off-Broadway show. from RC in Austin, Texas

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Emcee, would it be bad theatre etiquette to hold up a big feathered, sequined sign that says "YOU ARE SO DARN DREAMY!"

I'm stealing that idea from Celra at the Rent performances! BROADWAY!

I'm coming to NY (well the USA) for the first time ever, and I've booked tickets to see:

Sondheim on Sondheim
A Little Night Music
Anyone Can Whistle (Encores! though, I guess this doesn't count?)
lips together, teeth part
the glass menagerie (off-broadway)

There is this concert on at Carnegie Hall on the 16th of April, with Paulo Szot and Kelli Oâ??Hara singing Learner & Lowere, which I'm also seeing.

If I have the time and money, I might try and fit in another couple of shows. Maybe I should see SOUTH PACIFIC to get some kind of idea what a full-scale Broadway production is actually like.


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Well I would sure like to see my Angela in A Little Night Music. Saw her in Sweeney the first time around. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

I'm really digging the plays this season, so...

A View From the Bridge
Time Stands Still
The Miracle Worker
Present Laughter

But, since I live in NYC I'm not necessarily in a rush to see anything.
