Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm going out with my wife. Which play would be best? in NY -Hairspray -The lion king -Crybaby -The little mermaid -Grease -Mary poppins -Rent -Wicked: The musical -Adding machine: The musical Most of them are muscials, Which is the best? Wicked definitely by far. The current Broadway cast is: Elphaba- Stephanie J. Block G(a)linda- Annaleigh Ashford Madame Morrible- Miriam Margolyes The Wizard- Lenny Wolpe Fiyero- David Burnham Nessarose- Cristy Candler Boq- Ben Liebert Dr. Dillamond- Steven Skybell Chistery- Jonathan Warren I heard the lion king is really good, Personally, I would see the little mermaid, but I would only see it to see Sherie Rene Scott perform. If it is your first broadway show, the Lion King is just a great piece.... but what do I know...I've never even been to New York!!! rent wicked the lion king and crybaby wicked by far! you would never regret seeing it! take my advice i have seen them all and wicked is so amazing from the tech to the acting and vocals! this or the lion king would me my choices! do remember broadway is not formal so you sholdn't dress like it's a wedding. Wear slacks,nice shirt and tie and your ready for a great show! Here's a short few words about each I have seen here in the city - Hairspray - Fun, silly, 60s motown, good show The lion king - Big and amazing, good music Crybaby - Haven't seen it yet The little mermaid - Crappy production, okay music Grease - Even more crappy Mary poppins - Disappointing, but she flies once Rent - I would wait for the original cast to come back Wicked - Decent show, okay music, awesome effects Adding machine - Haven't seen it yet If you wife would like a good story and a big, splashy show, I would go for Lion King. If she might like something really girl-oriented, then Wicked. If you wanted big and colorful and silly, I'd go for Hairspray. You can check out short clips of all of these on YouTube. |
