Musicals

[dr4b]

Dammit. I think I only can afford the time or money to see one of these, sometime next week.

Is anyone interested in going to see either Chicago at The Paramount, or Pippin at the 5th Avenue Theatre?

I'm a little torn. Chicago is a really great musical to see live, IMO, but I have seen it on Broadway before (and loved it). Pippin, on the other hand, was originally written when Schwartz was in Scotch'n'Soda at Carnegie Mellon, and believe it or not, I've never seen it performed. So on the one hand there's the wanting to see a musical again that I really like, versus wanting to see a new musical.

I guess if there was anyone who wanted to go see either, it would influence my opinion, though. Otherwise, some night next week when I'm exhausted from moving boxes, I'll probably go over to one or the other.

I'm thinking of being a little more boring and going to Les Miserables in late May or early June. Probably the last weekend. Dragging Pam along despite no real degree of enthusiasm on her part. (We used to like the drama club's musicals in high school, so I'm pretty sure she'll enjoy it once I get her there.)

Well, we're going to see Pippin this Thursday. I'll post how it goes.

I can't come with you, but I've always liked Pippin.

Believe it or not, I've never seen Pippin either. I don't even think I've heard the music, though I did read it for a playwriting committee I was on a couple of years ago.

I say go see Pippin; then again, I don't like Chicago very much, so you have to take that into consideration.
