I went to NYC during Spring Break last year. I chose shows that a) I haven't seen, b) were about to close, c) still had OBC, or d) weren't about to launch a national tour.
That said, my personal pick would be Young Frankenstein. With an OBC like that, I wouldn't want to have to wait for a future tour to see it.

Find out what your grandparents have seen and tell us what you've seen.

I saw Spring Awakening with my mom. I wasn't uncomfortable but she said she was. I had a woman and her teenaged granddaughter next to me. They actually left at intermission. That said, I wouldn't go to Q. Try Chicago or Young Frankenstein.

Posted: 10/15/07 at 9:23pmCurtains is a great family show. A lot of fun, AMAZING performances (especially by the supporting cast), and something the whole family can enjoy.

Ack!
these recommendations -- well intended, im sure -- some of these recommendations are so STALE!!!
see something NEW while you're here ... gram would have to love South Pacific, i'd think. A Catered Affair might be a little riskier (as in not as proven), but still worth considering. SITPWG, to be sure.
but, lordy: even a future nala isn't going to come to nyc and see "Lion King" again!?!

Posted: 10/15/07 at 11:18pmI'm also going during spring break and for once have no clue what I want to see (most of the shows I wanted to see have passed). What shows will have all/most of their OBC by April?
#39re: So...Im going to NY during spring break...
Posted: 10/15/07 at 11:30pmI'm also planning a trip for this spring and I'm seeing: In The Heights, A Catered Affair, Young Frankenstein, and probably something else... I just wish I knew when the tickets for ACA and Heights go on sale.

Ok. These are the top four shows I have dicided on so far. Spring Awakening,The Little Mermaid,Rent, or Young Frankenstein.

well, out of those 4, I'd definitely say YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN- i think that's the most likely of those shows to please everyone in your group.
not to sound naggy, but I'd still reccomend JERSEY BOYS. it really is a great show, and by then, I'm pretty sure a mostly new cast will be in it, so that's pretty exciting.
My 2007/2008 Season:
Grey Gardens (7/5)
110 in the Shade (7/6)
Mary Poppins (7/7)
Xanadu (7/7)
Deuce (7/8)
Spamalot (7/8)
Jersey Boys (8/25)
The Year of Magical Thinking (8/25)
Mauritius (11/2)
Young Frankenstein (11/3)
Rock 'N' Roll (11/3)
Pygmalion (11/4)
Mauritius (11/10)
Mauritius (11/21) Mauritius (11/21)
Sunday in the Park with George (3/6)
South Pacific (3/7)
Gypsy (3/8)
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (3/9)

My dad is looking for a show that has celebrities in the cast. Does anyone know of any show like that right now? And besides Hairspray and The Color Purple.

Posted: 10/28/07 at 9:48pmThe Drowsy Chaperone has Bob Saget in it. But I've never seen Drowsy so I can't really reccomend it. Out of the four shows you've mentioned, I've only seen Spring Awakening. I loved it, but, like I said. It could be a tad uncomfortable. The same with Rent. I'd go to Young Frankenstein.
