The Addams Family

Going into The Addams Family, I couldn't wait for it to be over. The only reason I was interested in seeing it was to see Krysta Rodriguez in a starring role. My friend invited me, so I went.

Walking out, I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to go back again. The show had the right amount of fun and heart mixed together. Nathan Lane was hilarious as well as many other cast members. Songs like "Happy/Sad" also gave the show a redeeming quality beyond the humor. The sets, costumes, acting, and choreography were wonderful! The score also had great songs; I walked out with "Crazier Than You" in my head. I smiled, laughed, and nearly cried. I had a wonderful time.

Inside of every teenage girl there's a part of Wednesday Addams that doesn't want to fall in love with a certain guy. Immediately audience members want them together. Their relationship is adorable, quirky, and complicated, and it's a ton of fun to watch.

I think this show is great for basically any person of any age. My teenage friend I saw it with loved it, and all of my other friends told me I would have a great time. Now whenever people ask me about it I encourage them to go, especially my friends. Rush is a good way to get in for a good price, but if you can't discounts are pretty good. If you're looking to have fun with a serious side and laugh a lot, definitely go.

Jersey Boys

One of the first shows I wanted to see when my Broadway obsession began was Jersey Boys. After years I finally got to see it!

When I sat down I was so excited. I was sitting fourth row, and I was the youngest person around me which always excites me. I also knew many of the songs in the show so I was excited to see them performed. When the show finally started I was so happy.

As the show went on, my excitement went away. I felt like I was watching an E! True Hollywood Story with some karaoke mixed in. The performers were amazing. Tony blew me away and I fell in love with him. There just seemed to be a lack of heart to the show, and it was so simple I never got that feeling that I loved it and I'd want to go back. Some parts made me smile, though, and I'm glad I saw it.

I have a few teenage friends who love the show and got me pumped up to see it, so it's not just an adult show. I have some friends who agree with me and wouldn't pay to go back. For most people my age, paying $140 or a little under for a show is nearly out of the question, and I wouldn't recommend paying that much for the show. For a teenager rush or standing room may be a good option. If a teenager is looking for a show to relate to or feel something for, I wouldn't advise seeing Jersey Boys. If a teenager is looking for possibly a good time watching some karaoke, go. There's no spectacle to the show, no big costumes or sets. So if you're into that, Jersey Boys isn't a good choice.
