I had tickets for a performance of A Tale of Two Cities (would have been my third time) but the extreme premature closing of November 9 (the only day I like couldn't do it!/didn't know about it!) ruined even my second viewing of what would have been the closing of November 16; to which I saw Gypsy again!
Next on my list: In the Heights, which I've yet to see and only recently became curious!; Mary Poppins, as my family wants to go so I would certainly want to attend
; and possibly Shrek - The Musical, but hopefully to get highly discounted for most of these, shouldn't be too hard with this economy and poor attendance
.
Also may be interested in ' 9 to 5,' yes, based off of Dolly Parton's film, and YES composed/produced/written by Ms. DOLLY PARTON herself, which will be headed to Broadway this upcoming Spring.
Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls fame will be headlining the new GUYS & DOLLS revival, with previews beginning in February!
Lastly, I will probably make an effort to see the 2008, 50th Anniversary Revival of WEST SIDE STORY, which will play at the Palace Theatre from February! Although I haven't heard too many excellent things form the out-of-town tryout in D.C., it is WSS!
Yeah, Im pondering about 9 to 5 as well and the West Side Story revival for the same reason: Its West Side Story lol. 9 to 5 should be very interesting considering Dolly Parton herself is doing it. This should be very interesting to watch.
You know I was jumping for joy to watch In The Heights when it first came out, but the constant delays and postponements to come to New York sorta killed my enthusiasm. Hopefully I get a chance during the coming months to come to Broadway and watch some of these shows while they are still there. Personally, I think In The Heights would be a better watch than the newer shows out, as I have heard no say great reviews about some of the new productions. They had a whole hype about "13" but then I heard it was just aweful.
Now A Tale of Two Cities is something I was dying to watch. Out of all of Dickens works, ATOTC is the only one that actually moves an individual. I will agree the book can get a tad a bit boring but I heard the production would just move audiences. I feel sorry they were the most effected by the economic crisis, Considering they barely had many runs (Though AMerican Buffalo was alot worse)
I also do want to watch The 39 Steps after it moves and Billy Elliot. I have heard those two are really good shows, especially Billy Elliot. I believe that was in the UK before right? Thats one of those shows where I would not mind paying full price to watch
