Hadestown Vs Girl from the North Country

My husband and I are making our first post-shutdown trip back to Broadway the weekend of Jan 28 - 30.

We already have tickets to Music Man & The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life.

I can’t decide between Hadestown and Girl from the North Country for the third show we see.

Any advice?

Is Lily in Search, herself?

Saw her at the Doolittle in LA years ago.

You’re lucky, OP

Hadestown. Avoid anything to do with North and people from North.

Not 'The Music Man', OP! Don't! Return those tix and exchange them for something that won't put you to sleep ten minutes into the production. You've been warned!

Cecily Strong from SNL is starring in Search, R1

I hope that’s not true R3 - the tix to Music Man are ruinously expensive.

[R5], I saw a production of it at the 5th Ave in Seattle in 1995. I assure you, Yawnsville. Treacly. If you like Lawrence Welk-esque sentimentality, and over the top shit music, you'll adore this. Just please don't hate me for trying to steer you away from this.

So, R3 hasn't seen the Broadway production, just some production done by the Mt Ranier Players in which all of the main characters are played by the members of the Board. Sort of like this

That’s a relief, R5.

I was afraid you had seen a preview of the Broadway production.

[R7], I like your wit. But it wasn't a local company, it was a touring company. It was still dreary.

Just wondering how things went on your trip. What did you pick? Did you enjoy 'The Search..."? It was all right. They trimmed it down, and I didn't have that "goose Bump" experience that I had when i saw Lily in it. "The Music Man" is a classic, and it's nice to see Sutton Foster amd Hugh Jackman. I enjoied THAT show enough. As far as Hadestown vs "The Girl from..." - Hadestown is soooo much better then 'TGFNC". TGFNC" is a big snooze. A huge snooze. Hadesyown is exciting, even with that crypt keeper, Andre DeSheilds in it.
