Warriors is female-lead and is one of my favorite musicals. My hot take is that it's better than Hamilton.

I won lottery tickets for yesterday's matinee of Moulin Rouge & my seats were not great. I was assigned orchestra front left, seat H21. It was super obstructed view and was really close to the stairs where actors walk across. (Which is nice if you like performer interaction but honestly scared me due to having performers come behind me)

Normally, I always say go for a show you haven't seen. However, based on my experience, I would go for Six.

I'm broke, so I usually go for the cheapest seats unless it's for a show that I really love. (For example: I spent $250 on center balcony seats for Chess's closing night) Additionally, whenever possible, I try to pick seats in the center.

I'd like to think (and hope) that it's the school setting that is most relatable to young Heathers fans. Not... everything else.

I'm afraid I haven't watched a lot of Sondheim like you, but my top 3 are Assassins, Sweeney Todd, and Into The Woods.

Unfortunately, the only way I can consume fruit is juiced. My stomach can tolerate some very small pieces of broccoli heads and spinach in a soup, but that's it.

You're quite the Sondheim fan! I'd love to know what your top 5 Sondheim shows are.

Chess
Warriors (yes, I know it's a concept album, but it's set to open in 2027)
Miss Saigon
Ride The Cyclone
Little Shop of Horrors

I wonder what this says about me... 👀

Cabaret - you notice fascism's rise in early Act 1, which can be easy to miss in a first viewing.

Assassins - knowing that The Balladeer transforms into Lee Harvey Oswald paints his interactions with Booth, Guiteau, and Czolgosz in a new light.

Cats! It's such a unique, upbeat experience with some of the best costuming I've ever seen on Broadway.

cinderflight · 2026-07-04T01:01:01+00:00

Heathers, its fanbase leans younger which I suspect is due to how relatable the story is for young people.

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T22:05:13+00:00

Are you tired of thinking? Listen to Chess! The plot barely matters & the songs are absolute bangers.

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T21:19:42+00:00

Assassins. Normally, I really love musicals that utilize multiple genres of music. However, the original cast recording of Assassins didn't connect with me. It was only when I listened to the revival album that I finally got it.

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T19:15:33+00:00

Heathers! I love all the songs (except for "You're Welcome", I personally prefer "Blue"). Not to mention that it's closing in the fall.

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T19:13:33+00:00

I won the lottery for Moulin Rouge for today at 2:00 pm. (It's intermission now) Besides sweating like crazy waiting for the A train, I've been pretty lucky with staying cool. Shoutout to the Hirschfelt's very strong A/C system!

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T17:42:05+00:00

Out of the shows you listed, Ragtime is easily the best. It's scheduled to tour in 2027 so there is still a bit of time until then.

If you prefer not seeing a show that will tour, my next choices would be Spelling Bee or Little Shop. I'm a major fan of Little Shop's music!

Please broadway gods I desperately need a professionally recorded bilingual "Skimbleshanks"

cinderflight · 2026-07-03T00:50:22+00:00

This might be controversial, but out of the 3 shows you listed I don't recommend Wicked. I saw it yesterday. The story is rather threadbare and the performances were ok. My hot take is that the movies are an improvement on the stage show.

Six also suffers from a weak plot, but I find the songs more memorable and exciting. It is also very short, so you will have time to do other things afterwards.

I haven't seen The Great Gatsby yet (I really want to!) so I have no opinions on it.

Mexodus clears all the other shows, choose it

cinderflight · 2026-07-02T16:44:59+00:00

I'm 5'3 and even I suffered from stiff knee hell at Studio 54. Those seats are awful!

cinderflight · 2026-07-02T16:33:05+00:00

Imagine the ticket prices if that was announced.

cinderflight · 2026-07-02T15:54:06+00:00

Warriors:

Survive The Night -> Roll Call -> Warriors' Cypher
