Play or musical with 22 year old sone

My son and I are returning to NY next week. We saw Spamalot the first time and loved it! We have tickets to Jersey Boys this time, but I would also like to grab some l/2 price tickets when we get there. What would you recommend for a young man ( and his mother!) It could be a musical or play, on or off broadway. I%26#39;ve looked at August: Osage County, Curtains, Alter Boyz, and Ave. Q (although I might be a bit embarrassed to see that with him from what I have read). Any comments on these or any other suggestions? I thought about Wicked but doubt I can get any l/2 price.

My 20 year old son and I went to see Avenue Q at Christmas time-its good fun and every one laughs at the homourous bits so I wouldn%26#39;t think you would feel embarrassed at all-we are talking about puppets doing the more risque stuff-its very funny and entertaining. I saw Altar Boyz with my 16 year old that is good too but I would rate Avenue Q above it.

You%26#39;ll love Jersey Boys-have a great trip!

Thanks for your reply! I will keep a look out then for Ave. Q discount tickets. It does sound like a fun show. Just wish they weren%26#39;t so darned expensive--ha! Thanks again!

I agree about Avenue Q, lots of fun and one of my favorites.

As far as Jersey Boys, well, it is fantastic, I hope you enjoy it.

Have fun.

Thirty Nine Steps was very good. A dark comedy performed by 4 people. Xanadu is fabulous and you will laugh out loud the whole time. We were hesitant to see this and it ended up being our favorite. I was able to get half price tickets for both shows.

How about RENT? Both my twenty-something daughters absolutely love it (and so do I). It%26#39;s closing in September after almost 12 years.

It was made into a movie and you have the option of renting the DVD before your trip to see if it%26#39;s something you would enjoy. A wonderful 2 hours to share something truly special with your son!

Have a great trip!

young frankenstein was very good %26amp; suitable I think for both of you. Avenue Q might appeal to him too. Alter Boyz was just okay but I got like 75% off or something like that months ago, not really worth 1/2 price though. Not sure your 22 y/o son would like Wicked.

Thanks for some great ideas, and some I wasn%26#39;t familiar with. I will definitely check them out. BTW, do you think it%26#39;s better to get tickets at broadwaybox.com or get better deals/seats at the TXTS booth. Thanks again for your help!

I just saw Saved--the musical. I think your son (and you) will enjoy this off-Broadway (cheaper price but great theater).

Rent is fabulous, go see that if you never have as it is closing Sept 7.

If you%26#39;re brave, as always, I will reccomend Spring Awakening, touchy subjects that if you%26#39;re worried about Ave. Q you might not want to watch with your son, but still very good show.
