Heathers or Moulin Rouge?
I'm going to London at the end of July and I have one show spot left. I was gonna go for Moulin rouge but held off on getting tickets incase something else gets announced, and now my favourite musical Heathers has been announced, but I'm not sure if I should go.
I've seen Heathers once before, and I didn't love it then but I still enjoyed it, and then I was obsessed with it for 6 months (primarily with the OG west end cast), and since then it has been my favourite and I love watching videos of it. But I'm still technically not sure how much I enjoy it outside of the og west end cast? I've watched the boot of it several times, and then a few of the other ones and I enjoy them all but my main enjoyment comes from comparing the different Veronicas and JDs (I have a list of everyone who has played them in America/UK and plan on watching as much of all of them as possible and ranking them).
Moulin Rouge I've watched the film of and I didn't really like it that much but I've also convinced myself that I did? I've only seen a video of Roxanne on the stage show because I love that song the most, and I've never listened to the cast recording, so I'm not sure how good the stage show is.
So since I've never seen Moulin Rouge I wonder if I should see that instead? But I just don't know how good it actually will be, and I was hoping Heathers would be on when I'm there, but it seems like a waste of a trip to see a show I've already seen (saying that, I am seeing Hamilton twice after seeing it last year but that's entirely Leslie's fault).
Is Moulin Rouge actually really good or should I skip it? Or should I see something different from those two?
I'm already seeing Hamilton, Wicked, Beetle juice and Jesus Christ Superstar and I've already seen Totoro.
Sorry for the long post, thanks for any help :)
Also just to include everything the rule says:
Going end of July, don't want to give specific dates.
Coming from the UK, going to West End but happy to see off west end shows that aren't far.
Here for 3 days.
Going on my own.
Seen very few shows actually live but I love Hamilton, Heathers, Totoro was good, love the bootleg of Finding Neverland and Bonnie & Clyde. I did not like Hairspray (love the film), haven't seen any other musicals live or on bootlegs that I don't like but in terms of soundtrack I don't like Hadestown, Phantom (or the film of it), Music Man, Waitress (a few songs are okay). Sorry I'm blanking.
