If you were us. . . .

Tyler and I will soon be on our way to New York City. We are extremely excited. It is so much fun to plan our trip. Actually, Tyler does most of the planning but usually around my preferences. (He's great!) We absolutely are going to see a Broadway show, but we are stuck on two shows and can't decide which to see. Basically, we don't know if we want to spend a lot of money on a show, because this will probably be our only trip to the Big Apple OR if we should stick to our frugal ways, because who doesn't need to be frugal these day?
Here are the options: We could see West Side Story in the balcony where all seats are at some point obstructed to the stage action, or we could spend bank on some good seats.

OR . . .

We could see Mary Poppins for the same price as the balcony seats for West Side Story but closer to the stage and no obstructions. Again, here, we could spend bank on some awesome floor seats, but. . .What would you do?

These are the two musicals that we are considering. Lion King and Wicked are too too pricey and neither of us are really interested in seeing them. A few others are just singing shows and we want a plot to our music. So, what would it be if you were us? West Side Story or Mary Poppins?
