It's just so difficult to choose a winner out of these two shows. They are both so different and so special. An American in Paris is big, and gorgeous and classic Broadway, and Christopher Wheeldon's direction and choreography is some of the best I've EVER SEEN. Fun Home on the other hand is a game-changer. It is completely original and intimate. I loved them both so much, and felt so much while watching them. I think that Fun Home is going to win due to the momentum it's gained this season a...

Hey guys! I was in the city this weekend and saw Hand to God and really fell in love with the play. Along with the powerhouse performances given by the 5 performers onstage, I was also so taken by Robert Askin's writing. Does anyone know when it is going to be published so I can buy it? I also caught the 4 Best Musical nominees which was so exciting. Each so different from the other!

I am so excited for this!

My first Broadway show was the most recent revival of La Cage Aux Folles! Magic!

These have all been said, but just to reiterate, definitely check out... The Glass Menagerie A Raisin in the Sun Angels in American The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? I also just read Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegria Hudes, which won the Pulitzer for Drama a couple years ago. I thought it was very interesting. Definitely check it out.

No order! 1) Liza Minnelli in 'Cabaret' 2) Barbra Streisand in 'Funny Girl' 3) Jean Hagen in 'Singin in the Rain' 4) Rita Moreno in 'West Side Story' 5) Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' 6) Roy Scheider in 'All That Jazz' 7) Catherine Zeta-Jones in 'Chicago' John Cameron Mitchell in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' 9) Julie Andrews in 'The Sound of Music' 10) Dick Van Dyke in 'Mary Poppins' SO many great ones though. I also love Joel Grey in 'Cabaret', Barbra in 'Hello, Dolly', Ellen Greene in 'L...

Hello! Ok, so I'm going to be in NYC for a short time at the end of this week, and need some advice as to which show I should see. I am there this coming Sunday and Monday. On Monday evening I am seeing Heathers, but I am completely torn as to what I should see Sunday afternoon. I am trying to decide between.. Lady Day Violet If/Then Bullets Over Broadway Based on those shows, do you have any recommendations as to which one I should see? Or if there is a show that I shouldn't miss that isn't ...

Hey guys! So I'm doing a research report on Hair and it's success in integrating rock music into its score, and I'm looking for information on the cast recording? Like sales, release date, stuff like that! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Younger Brother in Ragtime Tateh in Ragtime Toby in Sweeney Todd Charlie Brown in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

She went to the Canadian College of the Performing Arts, which is one of the best in the country! She has musical theatre training! She may surprise, but who knows.

Keys and vocal stuff aside, could this work as a man in drag? Imagine...

Love this! Ok, one of my favourite theatrical moments was when I was playing the Baker in INTO THE WOODS this past year at my highschool. I had been having a lot of troubles with performing in previous shows because I was finding it difficult to perform for myself rather than focus on what the audience was going to think. I began the short run at my highschool and decided that I was purely going to do this role for myself, and it became one of my most favourite roles I have ever done. A speci...

-Jessie Mueller having a great leading role that plays to all of her strengths! She deserves something AMAZING -A revival of The Secret Garden (I can dream) -A lot of new and original work, with a lot of up and coming composers and lyricists making their Broadway debuts! -Patti LuPone winning her third Tony -Heathers: the Musical to transfer to Broadway and become a HIT

I just want to be on Broadway, no matter what role I get! But my dream roles currently are Tobias in Sweeney Todd or Dickon in The Secret Garden! There are so many amazing roles though! Charley in Merrily We Roll Along is another great one! Oh my god, also The Baker in Into the Woods. SO MANY.

Having only seen 8 Broadway shows in my short life, I don't have much to work with, but I have seen some incredibly inspiring performances! I found Norbert Leo Butz's performance in Catch Me If You Can to be a powerhouse! So much fun, and so thrilling to watch. Also Douglas Hodge in La Cage and Rachel Bay Jones in Pippin had a huge effect on me! I feel very fortunate to have seen the shows I've seen!

I would LOVE to see Redhead or Applause revived, but really don't think either will ever happen.

I sat near the top of the balcony and the view was basically perfect. There are some points where actors walk in from orchestra level that I missed, but it didn't matter!

Frump is a fantastic role! (I love it, considering my username). Charles Nelson Reilly won a Tony Award for playing him in the OBC! Just don't TRY to steal scenes, just do the role and don't base it off of the fact that you want to steal scenes, or else your performance will come off as annoying! Have fun, and break a leg!

Try one of Eugene's monologues from Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Neil Simon- Catch Me If You Can Broadway- Sister Act, Cinderella Lyceum- La Cage Aux Folles Music Box- Pippin Nederlander- Newsies Shubert- Matilda Al Hirschfeld- How to Succeed Only 7! All amazing experiences though! I'll eventually get to them all!
