I am ashamed that I live 45 minutes away from Broadway and don't go very often. I love it, it's just the logistics of the whole thing that keep me away. I've seen:
Les Miserables (4 times and would go back again and again...I sob the entire show!)
Phantom of the Opera (2 times)
Cats
Annie
Miss Saigon

**babynurse** · 01-26-2003, 10:36 AM

Duh! I forgot my favorite one: The King and I (I was a kid, but I LOVED it!)

**Jerseygirl** · 01-26-2003, 12:35 PM

Like Amy, I live close enough to Broadway to make it happen, I don't go often anymore, but growing up my mother made a point of a major fine art experience at least twice per year. I never felt forced and for a long time it was one of the few things she and I could agree on.
My list that I can remember:
Annie, The Pirates of Penzance, Grease, 42nd Street, A chorus Line, Les Mis., Miss Saigon, Phantom, (Sandy Duncon and Tommy Tune in something I can't remember the name of, but we had box seats and I really enjoyed it at the Helen Hayes Theatre) Torch Song Trilogy, Dream Girls. I've seen The Nutcracker 1/2 a dozen times(my fave), Sleeping Beauty and been to the opera on a few occasions. I enjoy it a lot and wish I had more time now to take advantage.

All of these I've seen in Toronto:

Phantom - Saw it in high school and Michael Crawford was the lead. All I need say is WOW! Boy can he ever sing! I saw it this month and Im going again next month with bf - he got mad that I didnt ask him to go this month - oopsies! The first time was excellent. This new production flows just like the movie - on stage

Kinda disapointing but its still a great story!

Les Miserables
Lion King
Mama Mia
Rent
Chicago

Id love to see Miss Saigon if itd ever come back. Beauty and the Beast. If all goes well with the bf and Phantom this month, we're going to get tix to see WE WILL ROCK YOU. I cant wait!!

**acidcookie** · 04-01-2007, 01:00 PM

Ever?! Broadway? Off Broadway? Here are all the plays I remember ever seeing:

Romeo & Juliet
King Lear
Hamlet
Death of a Salesman
Phantom of the Opera
Hello Dolly
Vagina Monologues (and was in it twice)
Much Ado about Nothing

Hairspray
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Wizard of Oz
Bye Bye Birdie (was in the pit orchestra)
Taming of the Shrew
The Sound of Music
Arsenic and Lace

Probably more that are not coming to mind. I've seen some as movies (My Fair Lady, Rent) and I've been in some others.

**mustang80** · 04-01-2007, 01:35 PM

Well I guess I'm counting high school too.

Okay so I'm a little behind but DD15 likes plays and we have plans to see more.

I went to We Will Rock You 2 weeks ago. The story was a bit silly, of course, but the music was awesome. I really enjoyed it. That's the only show I've seen in Toronto. Other than that I've seen Romeo & Juliet (RSC, Stratford on Avon), Of Mice & Men, Hamlet, Into the Woods, and about 6 others that I can't remember at the Neptune in Halifax, NS, and MacBeth at the Atlantic Theatre Festival in Wolfville, NS.

I think that We Will Rock You was the only non-Shakespeare that I liked.

**AmyBoz** · 04-01-2007, 02:20 PM

Since my original response in 2003, I have also seen Hairspray, Billy Joel's Movin' Out, and Smokey Joe's Cafe. I'll be seeing Grease this summer. I'm dying to take Julia to see the Lion King, but so far, it's too expensive.

My whole list is NYC Broadway. (I live here...makes sense!)
