Sweeney, most definitely, followed by Threepenny, and then Lestat. I haven't seen Drowsy yet, so I can't comment. Lestat was laughably bad, but it did have a talented cast.

Who would have thought a simple question like this would generate 25 responses.

I'll let you know my choice (and where the tickets are - I am definitely going to TKTS tomorrow).

Well... I just got back from the show... and it was great! First let me tell you how I reached my decision.

I went to the TKTS booth this afternoon. Every single show (except for Jersey Boys, Lion King, and Pajama Game) on broadway was there (side note - is Thursday night the slowest on broadway? everything was there for 50% off).

I had a slow day today, and was not really in the mood for anything deep - so I decided to see Drowsy over Sweeney.

On playbill.com, I had found a code for $65 orchestra tix. When I went to the box office, the seat available was in the 4th row center orchestra...center ticket. Perfect! I didn't wait in line at TKTS.

The show was good... I loved that the nerdy prosecutor from The Practice was in it...and in it with his brother. In fact, their father sat in the row in front of mine, glowing about his sons.

The story was very funny...very light and funny. Highly recommended.
