I am seeing Spring Awakening and I have time for one more show, IN THE HEIGHTS or XANADU? (stage seats or no?)

Question

I love all kinds of musicals but Wicked is my favorite. I am all for powerful vocals and a meaningful story line.. is the "rap" aspect of "In The Heights" TOO much rap and not enough singing? Is Xanadu stupid funny? I was going for IN THE HEIGHTS but I have the opportunity for a cheap ticket to Xanadu.. is it worth skipping In the Heights for? OR is the chance to see Xanadu from the stage seating reason enough to see it?

Answer 1

IN THE HEIGHTS HANDS DOWN

Answer 2

Heights, Heights, Heights. It truly is worth every penny. Wicked lovers are crazy for it. I should know. :)

Xanadu is cute, and fun, but the onstage seats are definitely a  no-go for a first time viewing. It also does NOT have a meaningful storyline.

I'll be honest. I HATE rap, at least the c**p on the radio, but I love the music of In The Heights. It's like rap that is Broadwayed up. In The Heights made me laugh hysterically, cry like a baby, made me want to get up and dance, the songs are EXTREMELY catchy, they cast is totally lovable, you'll have a great time. :)

Answer 3

Xanadu all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
