I am actually going to town to meet a girl ... yes creapy i know.
So i figured what the heck even if i hate her i'll go see a show or two. (ala my other thread)
I've seen rent,spam,wick,drs,sweeney,piazza
So i was thinking mamma mia, avenue q, woman in white, or lion king or a combination of 2 of those 3. Kind of thought of doubt, but i saw the preview and quite honestly didnt do much for me.
Anything i am missing??

yeah, I'll say it... Woman in White. You're meeting a girl- it's a love story- there will be tears (or maybe that's just me...)
perfect fit...

Posted: 1/12/06 at 12:44pmgo see the Bee. it is a great date show. wonderful inside jokes that you can share with eachother. and if it doesn't work out, at least the show will have been great.

Posted: 1/12/06 at 1:05pmSee Spelling Bee. I agree with Pippin. It is a really fun and funny show. I am taking my best friend to see it in June when we are in NYC. Am hoping they do a few more Blue Nights around that time. I would like to see one of those performances!
Just give the world Love.

If you can get tickets, I'd say go see Jersey Boys w/the girl. If the date goes well, you guys can look back at a great show with some great love songs (John Lloyd Young singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", for example is amazing!)The show ROCKS & it's a lot of fun, too! So that you can show her your "sensitive side," the show has a few heart wrenching moments, too.
And--if you don't hit it off with this girl, at least you will see a great show! IMHO, Jersey Boys is your best bet!!

THE WOMAN IN WHITE beckons - with its romantic score! The sets are cool 
You and your date might enjoy the beautiful and stunning images which move effectively with the pace/details of the plot.

Posted: 1/13/06 at 1:22amI would stay away from Disney musicals for a date. Yes Lion King is visually amazing, but in the end it is a kids show. All those yelling screaming kids might not creat the ideal date atmosphere. You can never fail with a comedy on a date. I would suggest Bee or Avenue Q. Good luck on your date!

actually as sad as it is i think i may go to one show alone :)
She didnt seeem OVERLY excited, so i was like F that i am not spending all that money for an extra person :)
I've already seen wicked and sweeney so those are out.
I am probably leaning more towards WIW and Avenue Q.
I might go with her on sunday depending on time constraints.
