Which Play?

My mom wants to buy tickets for my bday in January to a broadway play. Which should we go and see? I've seen most of the major ones.

She mentioned Lion King and I know Little Mermaid is brand new and we both loooved the movie when I was a little girl.

Or should we do Hairspray which is grownup humor?

I took her to see Phantom and we saw Beauty and The Beast together too. Unfortunately I already saw Wicked because she would have enjoyed that.

I loved the Lion King.....It was just amazing

I saw The Lion King with my mom a few years ago.....you will both LOVE it!!!

I took my mom a few years back to Lion King for mom's day. It was awesome...and I think that Lil Mermaid is to be as awesome. Ursala looks sick. I voted Lil Mermaid

lion king all the way that was one of teh greatest shows ive ever seen in my life

ditto


it was just unreal. nothing against little mermaid and beauty & the beast--but i think they have more of a 'kid' feel to them like the movies. lion king was definitely made much more exotic for the stage---and they really expand on the african themes, music, beats, costumes more. its out of this world

I voted for Lil Mermaid!!
I asked for tickets for Christmas, because I'm dying to see it!!!

Yea I think she'd like Lil Mermaid. We both wnat to see the Lion King but my concern is that its SOOO popular..is it popular because its a great show or a 'me too' thing? yanno.... Thats my ONLY hesitation. Its like dang what was the name of the dang movie..I forget but it was critically acclaimed, every person I knew loved it and when DH and I saw it we looked at one another and said WTH!!!!

I need some more votes ladies. On the fence here! THanks! Jess, which play did you and Nate get tickets to finally?

Lion king is supposedly frrrreakin amazing.
but if I had to chose, I'd do Hairspray

HAVE A BLAST either way!

Thanks guys. Im so torn lol. I stress...Believe it or not Im the worlds BIGGEST Worrier. I have chronic guilt; worse than the usual catholic

As imy Sunday school isntilled guilt wasn't bad enough I stress myself with wanting things to be perfect whnen others are involved. Me I'd like any of em. But my mom doesnt go to many plays and they're sooooo expensive that I really want her to enjoy it. Giving myself heartburn over here!

if u're the first worrier in the world, i am ABSOLUTELY the 2nd next to all the other female members of my family who are the EXACT same way lol.it's a hereditary problem with most of the women in my family... Dh gets so frustrated because i am always SO concerned with others & ooooh the guilt guilt guilt....it's not necessarily a BAD thing...i just get stressed & undecisive about things(totally the pisces in me)...but hey - i'm workin' on it..i've actually gotten a lot better this year!
soooo the lion king....here's the deal - it's the movie. to the tee...dialogue, ' i just can't wait to be king' etc... so don't have super high expectations from the actual story line & stuff.....but the way they do everything is just incredible - so if u can appreciate that, u'll love it..because i'm a theatre nerd i was utterly impressed with the costumes & such..which is the most amazing thing about the show...its just very impressive in that sense & it gives u a lot to take it...it's definetly a cool experience. HOWEVER, if u want it to be special & be ultra impressed & have a really FUN time...GO SEE HAIRSPRAY!!! the show is so freakin' entertaining and just so much fun....u'll be dancin' in the aisles by the end of the night Not to throw another one in there & confuse u more, but Mama Mia is another great one...definetly a mom & daughter kind of a show.lots of fun good luck! let us know what u choose!
