Help Us Pick Our Last Show!
Hi all!
First off, I just wanted to say how much I love being part of this community. I scroll through this sub every morning while I drink my coffee, and it’s become one of my favorite daily routines.
I’m coming to the collective hive mind for a recommendation!
My friend and I are in NYC from today (Sunday) through Thursday, and we’ve already got a pretty stacked lineup: The Outsiders, Hadestown, Just in Time, Maybe Happy Ending, and Ragtime. I’ve seen all of them before and loved every one, but it’ll be my friend’s first time for all of them.
That leaves us with one open slot tomorrow (Monday) night, and we’re trying to decide between Titanique, The Great Gatsby, Spelling Bee, and Heathers (yes, I know the last two are technically Off-Broadway!)
Right now, his top choice is Gatsby since he’s never seen it. I’ve seen it a few times with Jeremy Jordan and Ryan McCartan, but I’ve also heard some pretty mixed reviews about Reeve Carney’s performance. I’m a little hesitant because I want this trip to leave a great impression, and I’m worried Gatsby might not hit the same way without that previous cast.
If you were introducing someone to one more show this week, which would you choose and why?
Please let me know your thoughts!!
