Which Show?? - 2007/02/20 19:20My mom said for the summer, we're driving to New Jersey to see my aunt and uncle, then, unless she changes her mind, WE CAN DRIVE TO NEW YORK AND SEE A SHOW!!!! I'm so excited, I've never been to NY, or seen a show. But here's the problem: I can't decide between POTO or BatB.
For POTO, I've always wanted to see the chandelier fall, and it's my favorite show, just behind BatB. And it's been running for a long time, and might close pretty soon. But I'm afraid it might be too creepy for my little sister, but I don't think she's coming to the theatre. And I know that no one will ever be as great as MC, but I've heard that Howard McGillin is good. And my mom and I were about to see it on tour, but she "forgot".
And for BatB, its sets are very cool, and it's my favorite musical, and it's closing this year. But my mom might not want to see it because "we've seen the movie a million times", and we saw it at our local high school (which was awesome, did I mention the beast was going to be on broadway someday? lol). And it's for the WHOLE family.
jeez, I LOVE both shows very very dearly, but I just can't decide...... help?*´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•´ Annie

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/02/20 20:58Beauty and the Beast. Just because we know it's closing and POTO is still going strong.To go into acting is like asking for admission to an insane asylum. Anyone may apply, but only the certifiably insane are admitted.

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/02/20 22:16Go see BatB. I saw it over Thanksgiving, and if nothing has changed, Donny Osmond is Gaston (squee!!! But any mods, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry, I'm just saying what I know.). PotO is a great show, but it won't be closing any time soon I bet, and BatB is closing in July.Hey yo! Let's go to the mo-fro (Melody Freeze), To get a fro yo (frozen yogurt), then we'll stop by the scho-sho (Scholorshop), on our way to WYSO (World Youth Symphony Orchestra)!
Just a little saying from Interlochen, possibly one of the greatest places on the globe!

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/02/21 08:54And maybe you'll get to see the new Belle, the one from disney channel, the redhead? Then you can come back and tell us if she's good enough to play Belle or not.

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/02/22 18:29I agree with the others...definitely go with BatB. You know it's closing this year and, like the others, I don't see POTO closing soon.
Have a great time! I have never been to NY either...I'm envious! Jennifer

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/03/06 16:52Although POTO might close soon, BatB is closing definitely in July.
I think if BatB is your favorite musical, you should see it on Broadway while it is still open.
Hope I helped!Current Role: Linus in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" Original Past Roles: Slightly in "Peter Pan" and more!
Never say you had a perfect performance! Always look for opportunities to improve.

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/03/06 21:06Thanks guys. I think I forgot to say a couple other things, but; If I'm going in late July - early August, I don't know if BatB will still be there or will just be tight with tickets. (It would be so cool to see the final show!) And I probably would never go back to NY for a long time, this is really a once in 10 years thing. POTO would be gone by then. I just wish we saw it when it toured in my city in.... 2004? So then we could just see BatB. I guess I'll see what happens.*´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•´ Annie

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/03/06 21:31I believe BatB closes July 29 to make room for The Little Mermaid.
I'll be sad when it closes. Current Role: Linus in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" Original Past Roles: Slightly in "Peter Pan" and more!

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/03/07 17:36I know, I will too. The Little Mermaid is kind of a weird show to do on stage. I mean... the swimming? It gets a little boring to watch people on strings the entire show, lol. Beauty and the Beast was doing perfectly fine, anyway! They could've made more money keeping it. *´¨) ¸.•´¸.•*´¨) ¸.•*¨) (¸.•´ (¸.•´ Annie

Re:Which Show?? - 2007/03/12 00:51It took me forever to figure out what POTO stood for. But I would see BatB. I actually kind of want to see Little Mermaid. Although I'd rather see BatB. I wish it would come on tour here. I also want to see Mary Poppins.The opposite of Rent is Oklahoma!!! Why didn't I think of that?
