Jersey Boys or Wicked

Hi! Slowly working my way towards an itinerary. We have 3 teens, 16 and 15 year old boys and a 13 year old girl. Which do you think is better? We haven%26#39;t seen anything except for Lion King years ago (which we all loved).

Also, tix on Broadway Box for both shows show some in the Orchesta, rows 3 or 4 for a certain price, but then there are some about 20 rows back for a higher price. Is it preferable to sit a little further back?

Thank you so much!! Everyone is so helpful here and I hope to return the favor after our trip.

Jersey Boys or Wicked

For that age group, definitely Wicked. Jersey Boys has some raw language, PLUS if your teens have no clue who the Four Seasons are they will care less.

I would rather be 4 rows back than 20 rows back, any day, any play.

Jersey Boys or Wicked

Both are great shows.. Yes at a musical it is preferable to sit a little further back depending on

the pitch of the stage and the positioning of the

orchestra. I would say if the theater is charging more

for those further back they consider them better seats.

If you%26#39;re buying the tix via Broadway Box, the actual vendor is a ticket broker, who is either selling them from its own pre-purchased inventory or acting as the agent for someone else -- who might be hoping for a windfall. So pricing is not necessarily indicative of which are the better seats; plus, some people (like me) prefer to be further back while others like warmwinds would rather sit closer.

Is one set of tickets closer to the center than the other?

I am buying via Broadway Box and I believe the tix up front may be toward the center. I think I will go with Wicked and the 3rd or 4th row. I%26#39;m getting so excited now! Thank you! What does one wear? Here in Los Angeles I would dress nicely; I%26#39;m assuming its that same?

Miss Manners would tell you that standards here are slipping re: dressing for the theatre. My family and friends do ';dress'; for the theatre, opera, etc., and we%26#39;re not alone -- although we don%26#39;t get quite as togged out as some of the Russian women from Brighton Beach (Brooklyn) who sail down the aisle swathed in fur coats and twinkling, true cocktail/evening wear :-)

These days one sees all matter of dress in the

theater and no one seems to worry about it. Just go

and have a good time.

Fellow Californian. Broadway is WAY dressed down compared to our standard theater garb here in L.A. (who%26#39;d have thunk, right?). I%26#39;ve noticed that little kids tend to be in party dresses but the majority of older kids and adults are in jeans or slacks (with of course a few on the higher end, and a few on the ripped jeans end!).

Nothing better to do, Tallahassee Tommy? I read your other two posts. . .
