Which of these shows would you choose?
Hey y'all, I absolutely love reading your takes on why you love (or hate) the shows you do!
I'm lucky to live in a pretty large city, surrounded by other cities that have a lot of theatre happening, from touring shows, to regional or local productions. As the lineups were released, I compiled a list of all the options for the 26/27 season.
As I try to decide what tickets to get... I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on what you'd prioritize, and what you'd skip.
I also noted the type of production and whether I've seen it, in case that would affect your choices.
ETA: Honestly I'll see anything once, because even if it's not my favorite, it's still an experience. But... I've gotta narrow this down somehow because I can't realistically see a show every week.
