 Favourite show currently on Broadway?
What is your favourite show on Broadway right now? Unfortunately, you can only make 10 options so I have listed 9 shows and made 'Other' an option. Other shows currently on Broadway: Chicago, Carrie, Ghost, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Jersey Boys, Jesus Christ Superstar, Leap of Faith, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins, Newsies, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Once, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Rated P... for Parenthood, Sister Act, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, The Lion King Personally, my favourite show is Wicked but I voted for Anything Goes. I think technically Anything Goes is a better show and I don't particularly like the current cast of Wicked (which I think is a factor, along with the material). Do you think this is a good season for Broadway? Do you like the direction Broadway is going in? P.S. I still think Titanic should have been revived for the 100 year anniversary of the tragedy coming up in a few weeks

 Re: Favourite show currently on Broadway?
Being 3000 miles away from Broadway I only get to see stuff when it goes on tour. Of the shows currently playing I enjoyed the tours of Wicked and Phantom the most. I know that those shows are now in their umpteenth cast by now and that the productions have likely degraded to a point where they aren't my first choices ot see anymore. I think the show I would be most interested in seeing is Book of Mormon. If I was to see a musical on Broadway I'd go for that one. From a straight play standpoint I'd love to see War Horse - it would actually be my first choice to see if I was in New York.

 Re: Favourite show currently on Broadway?
The Lion King always gives me that feeling inside that I can't describe. It makes me feel like a kid again as it was originally the best Disney Movie ever created. There were some great Broadway shows mentioned but The Lion King will always be at the top of my charts. Thanks, Martha

 Re: Favourite show currently on Broadway?
Of the shows I've seen, it has definitely got to be War Horse. The good shows don't seem to last, and if we're talking musicals specifically, there aren't very many exceptional ones playing Broadway right now.

 Re: Favourite show currently on Broadway?
I voted for Wicked, but I also like The Book of Mormon, Memphis, Once (gotta love Steve Kazee  <3), Chicago, and Newsies. I have yet to see Newsies on Broadway, but I saw their performance at the Tony awards this year and was completely mesmerized by the choreography involved with their songs.

 Re: Favourite show currently on Broadway?
I adore Book of Mormon more than words can express, and if I didn't live a million miles away from NYC right now, I would be entering that ticket lottery every darn night.
