Has anyone seen back to the future, heathers, dirty dancing, pretty woman or and Juliet?
So many options are adaptations from movies / play. We have seen the regulars. Looking for something we haven’t seen. Matilde is already chosen. I want a second choice.

I saw the touring show of Dirty Dancing. That is my "guilty pleasure" movie and, as much as I love live theater, the live performance just didn't do it for me. I was very disappointed. Otherwise, I haven't seen any of the name shows. If you are looking for something WONDERFUL .... see Hadestown!

I can only comment on the London Productions. Yes to" &Juliet" - well worth seeing. Not seen Heathers but has had good reviews here. Dirty Dancing is just Dirty Dancing ! Saw Pretty Woman two weeks ago and wasn't impressed and I wouldn't want to see it again. Not seen Back to the Future but do know others that have and the production is totally awesome. Another one to add to your list for consideration is "Six" link it's an amazing show and your daughters would surely enjoy it.

Yikes, Pretty Woman is one of our theatre subscription shows and I already wasn't excited about it. If you could swing it, Six is the show to see right now. We had tickets for last fall but our performance was canceled due to cast covid infections. We've yet to make it back.

Not having seen the shows, just based on the music, I would choose Heathers.

Nothing bad about it, good actors and good singing, it was just a so so show that I wouldn't pay to see again. You might enjoy it though. People have different tastes so go with an open mind.

I saw Pretty Woman in previews in Chicago. It was...not great.
I'd choose Heathers from that list.
I also agree that Six is not to be missed!

Heathers is fun and that would be my choice from your list.
I would go see Six if I were heading to Broadway (I plan to hopefully go in May).

My DH is excited about Pretty Woman because Adam Pascal, the OG Roger in Rent, his favorite musical of all time, is playing the lead when we're supposed to see it. I'm just not excited. My bar is different than his, but he's seen Rent so many times that the last time I sent our DDs with him instead of me. LOL

MichyM loves theater, and I believe her son still works in the Broadway family/structure…can’t think of the correct term! Maybe she can help?

I have no interest in the musical, I think it looks terrible. But I love Adam and what if this is my only chance to see him live 🤔 But do I want to ruin my feelings for him by seeing him in something bad? OP, I’d look at Six or TKAM before any of the ones on your list.

Sorry but I wasn't thrilled with Pretty Woman either But as @dottyscrapper said, the London production might be different.

Pretty Woman was a high disappointment. I would say don’t waste your money.

Out of your list, I've been wanting to see Heathers. I'm another one who really enjoyed SIX and Hadestown.
I'm going with DD and her friend and mom to see Funny Girl in June. Her friend's mom is a crazy fan of Barbra Streisand and wants to see the musical version. Plus Beanie Feldstein <3

I saw Pretty Women and I unfortunately agree, not good. Seemed to follow the movie, which I enjoy, but just did not enjoy the musical.

We are in London so this is helpful! Thanks! Are you in London at the moment ? Yes! We have thought about Matilda or wicked. I’ve seen both but my girls haven’t. They are leaning towards wicked. I wanted another option - something I haven’t seen. I didn’t know about any of these new movie adaptations. Will look into six and the hades one. I would take them to come from away but dh and I saw it recently. Didn’t know what else to look at.

I saw Lion King very recently (in London) and it was amazing, as was Hamilton but Hairspray and Wicked were great too 😊

Wicked Matilda Mary Poppins & Juliet Six Lion King Back to the Future Are all excellent shows and can recommend all of them for your girls.

We saw a very small local production of Heathers, and we are huge fans of the movie... We absolutely loved the stage version. To see it on a bigger stage with more props, it would most definitely be the one we would choose!

Of those mentioned in the OP, I'd go with either & Juliet (a big time yes, yes, YES), or Heathers (because I believe you have pre and/or teen aged girls).

We did Matilda tonight. Wicked for tomorrow. Thinking of & Juliet for the next night. Then that’s enough. Thanks everyone.

Heathers is super dark and wouldn't be great for younger kids, but I love the music.
