I'm going to New York City next week. On Friday night, we're seeing "Wicked" and on Saturday afternoon we're seeing "Little Shop of Horrors." I can't decide what I want to see on Saturday night. My mom and I are going to rush or do SRO, but I don't know for what show. Some suggestions?
I would say Hairspray. That seems to be a favorite, and is one of the only recent shows that was a complete hit commercially and with the critics. It's a GREAT time. Hairspray, Wicked, and Little Shop all in one weekend is a dream.
If you want to see a true, classic Broadway musical - go see WONDERFUL TOWN! they don't make 'em like that anymore! Plus, they use a FULL 24 piece orchestra - 10 of them strings! Worth every penny!
THE BOY FROM OZ and TABOO have both been up on TKTS almost every night. You'll have a GREAT time at THE BOY FROM OZ, and you'll get to see the upcoming TONY winner for Best Actor in a Musical for next years 2004 TONY AWARDS!!! Have Fun!!!
I'd prefer them to be musicals. I have seen so far:
Beauty and the Beast Phantom of the Opera RENT Aida Thoroughly Modern Millie Hairpsray Gypsy 42nd Street Movin' Out Chicago The Lion King Nine The Producers Cabaret Mamma Mia
And I'm seeing Little Shop of Horrors Wicked
Have Avenue Q been on TKTS? Or is it easy to get rush for that, do many people show up for the lottery?
For someone who has seen as many current and recent musicals as you why do you "need help deciding on a show"? You're not a novice by any means and you know you're only interested in musicals.
Good question, Mr Bulldog. Maybe he was looking for a thread title & this was the best he could think of or maybe he was generally looking for help. Who knows . No big thing
I can't decide whether I want to wait in TKTS and pick a show by the luck of the draw (I'm really hoping for "Wonderful Town" or perhaps something elese) or if I just want to get SRO for "Hairspray."
Next weekend should be very busy, with the tree lit and all, so don't expect much at tkts, especially Sat night. Never Gonna Dance, which opens this week, is well worth a try. I think they may still be on discounts.
