So this summer we have a chance to see either show, but one's in San Francisco and WICKED is touring in San Diego. I want to see A CHORUS LINE, but Ivan wants to see WICKED. We can only see one. (We'll probably end up seeing WICKED, since it's closer, and Ivan doesn't want to go to San Francisco anytime soon.)
If you were put in this spot, what would y'all do?
I live outside of SF so I am defidently going to see that. ALSO I'm going down to Costa Mesa to go see Wicked. Is Kemdra still the touring Glinda?? and Stephanie?

or wait to see the revival on Broadway and go for Wicked

Not just another birthday, it's 30/90
Why can't you stay 29
Hell, you still feel like you're 22

First vote for Wicked...as long as you haven't seen it. A Chorus Line will probably be back on tour.
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!

Chorus Line! But Ivan seems to think you guys are seeing Hairspray and Wicked...... so what happened with our us 3 seeing Chorus Line together huh??? not cool buddy, i cant believe he doesnt wanna go back to SF (i'm there!) haha j/k i kno why he doesnt wanna go, well i guess i'm not too far from San Diego either..... lets chill again....
One caveat: WICKED is not a well writtten show but gets by because of the specatcle. (It's not an awful show, just uneven.) Once the first class tours finish you won't likely see many "community" or "regional" productions (and if you do without all the elaborate scenic effects it will lose much of its appeal.) So, if you are a fan of the show this might be a rare chance to see it.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks." Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Personally, I don't really like A Chorus Line, but I guess that it's a matter of preference. I will probably see it just for Charlotte d'Ambroise. And isn't Julia Murney going to be the new Elphaba?? Or is that later? Well, Julia is wonderful. So I would go with Wicked.
And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.
