Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:38pmWhat are 3 shows that I absolutely HAVE to see that will still be open?

Tarzan, Company, LoveMusik 
just kidding
I would definitely say 110 in the Shade should be on that list (Audra's performance is incredible)...and maybe A Chorus Line.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:45pmI'd say 110 in the Shade, A Chorus Line and Grey Gardens. Those three would give you a good variety of broadway shows.
Happy...Everything!

Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:46pm110 in the Shade will be closed by August, right?

I'd say 110 in the Shade, Grey Gardens, and A Chorus Line.
(And if you're going in early August like 1-12, you should check out DEUCE with Angela Lansbury, it'd be amazing to see such a broadway legend.)
:D

Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:48pmYes, your third show should definitely be Grey Gardens.

It's going to be late august.
So it's iffy for 110 being open? Should I just choose another?

Posted: 6/23/07 at 1:54pmAs of now, it's closing July 31.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 2:26pmDefinately 110 in the Shade and Grey Gardens!
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Won't 110 be closed?
Definitley see Grey Gardens
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 3:08pmI hope you have a fantastic time! Good luck planning the trip! I would recommend Jersey Boys, Legally Blonde, and Wicked! Have fun!
Follow your bliss! I love Will Chase! I love Lisa Brescia! I love Stephanie J. Block!

Posted: 6/23/07 at 3:11pmYou can see "Wicked" or "Jersey Boys" on tour so I'd skip those and go for something else.

"Passions" is uncancelled! See NBC.com for more info.

If you can get a ticket for JB, do it. John Lloyd Young is so passionate, so innocent, in his performance.
"Wicked" you can see anytime. And, IMO, it's not a great show...very overrated.
See "Grey" and you'll be blown away by the sheer brillance of Christine Ebersole's performance! She's extraordinary!

Grey Gardens is a must! It truly is a special show.
Others I might recommend: If Frost/Nixon is still playing, go check it out (unsure of closing date)
There'll be a lot of new stuff, so you may want to take a chance on TKTS for one.
But, go see Grey Gardens.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 3:50pmGrey Gardens, Spring Awakening and 110, if its open. If not, see Xanadu, it seems like it might be the hit of the summer.

So I'm thinking a Chorus Line, Spring Awakening, and Grey Gardens.
How about it?

Haha, I'm not one for Spring Awakening, but that's just be. You're choices are good 
. A Chorus Line is a fantastic choice!
