What to see in March? (another one of those threads)#1
Posted: 1/7/08 at 10:12pm
I'll be in March for four days and am having difficulty in making the decision in which shows to see. This will be my only trip to New York until after the Tonys.

Here are my definites...what should I fill in?

March 1 - ???
March 2 - DEAD MAN'S CELLPHONE (Mat) / ??? (Eve)
March 3 - GYPSY (1st Preview)
March 4 - THE LITTLE MERMAID

Thanks!!

March 1st you could always see the first preview of SOUTH PACIFIC

But yes, I'd also say AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY (which I'm hopefully seeing final performance...)

You will love The Little Mermaid! I would suggest Young Frankenstein. Have a great trip!

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.

AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY is on the top of my list but SOUTH PACIFIC is also tempting. If SOUTH PACIFIC is in previews...perhaps it will have a Sunday evening performance I could see??

If you're looking for a hilariously fun night of theater, go see Xanadu!

I've seen XANADU twice already. It's the only show of this season that I have seen.

So you have two spots open... I would suggest...

August Osage County- It will probably win the BEST NEW PLAY -judging the overwhelming positive reviews.

Sunday in the Park with George- It will probabbly win the BEST REVIVAL MUSICAL
judging from the buzz and great reviews in London.

I like CRY BABY and IN THE HEIGHTS too but those two shows ^^^ are limited run and a MUST SEE !!! - the other shows you can see by summer.

August:Osage County is a must see. IMO
The Homecoming is also very good. And for something a bit different and fun, Fuerzabruta off-Broadway.

Just give the world Love.

I confess that I didn't see IN THE HEIGHTS, but if I were you, I'd choose SOUTH PACIFIC and AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY to fill in the blanks.

Wasn't sure from your post - do you have a ticket for DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE already? Because they have a Sunday evening performance (March 2nd). I'm not sure if the shows I suggested have Sunday nights.

Do you have a ticket for THE LITTLE MERMAID already bec. that show looks like one of those Sesame Street's song... which one does not belong to the group? an odd choice

though I am seeing TLM this weekend...but I have seen all those show already or have tickets to the ones you mentioned...but for you.. its an odd choice?
