Hello everyone! I apologize for yet another, "What should I see?" thread... however....
I will be in the city from Feb.24th - March 5th. I already have tickets for: Book of Mormon Gentleman's Guide... Waiting for Godot Kinky Boots Outside Mullinger
What else should I see? I'm kind of looking for something off the beaten path... I'm positive I'll see some of the other flashy Broadway musicals... but I would also love to see something different!
wdw -- I never said I didn't like them, but I don't really need advice on which ones to see. I KNOW which flashy musicals I want to see. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on something a little less tourist/"mainstream"
If you haven't seen it yet then you should see ONCE -- you will not regret it. There is nothing flashy just a musical about real (okay fictionally real) human beings.
Also, depending on when you have your free night, NATASHA, PIERRE & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812 is certainly among the best "off the beaten path" options for you, though some might consider it "flashy."
Both great options, and great changes of pace from the rest of your lineup.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
Add me to the list of people who recommend Once and Great Comet. Once is a quieter, more touching musical. Great Comet is a bit more opulent, but it was absolutely brilliant and I can’t shill it enough.
I also recommend Natasha, depending on what you're definition of "flashy" is. It is by far not the "traditional musical," and is an offbeat immersive experience.
Sleep No More. Check out the threads lower down on this page for WAAAY too much info, but it will be an experience like nothing you else on your to-do list.
