All the shows mentioned, I have seen, but mostly the touring casts, not on Broadway. I have seen Phantom on broadway. I wasn't really interested in seeing Chicago again, but last March I saw it when Bebe Neuwirth rejoined the cast as Mama. The show was better than the touring casts I've seen.

I've seen the show a lot, and love it! I thought Billy Live was really good. I thought some of the differences in London worked better, and some North American changes were better. Was interesting to see the difference though. I also had some nitpicks about the camera work (trying to zoom on on faces during dance scenes when they should be showing the full body) but overall it's great to see it on the big screen. Ultimately, I think the Ogunquit production was by far the best I've seen. I wis...

I'm sure North America will get a release. I can't wait!

I try and buy my tickets from the South Street Seaport, since its hardly any wait, and the tickets go on sale before Times Square... therefore you end up with better seats.

The first Broadway show I saw was The Who's Tommy in Toronto. The first show I saw on Broadway was Thoroughly Modern Millie.

I saw Love Never Dies in Sydney, and it was actually pretty good. There are definitely some negatives, and sure ALW bastardizes most of the characters... but it's not THAT bad. I think Till I Hear You Sing Once More is one of the more beautiful songs ALW has written.

I am with Someone in a Tree2... I think Billy Elliot is one of the best things to come along in ages. It quickly has become my favorite show, and I've seen it numerous times with numerous casts. I have loved it every time. From the music to the inspirational story to the brilliant acting from the actors(I was still playing with lego when I was 12, certainly not starring in a broadway musical), I think the show is fantastic. Some other shows I've really enjoyed are Wicked, Newsies, and Thoroug...

Twice I've grabbed tickets to Pippin through TKTS. Both times the seats were very good. When I first saw the show, I was really impressed and it far exceeded my expectations. While the show doesn't have the hype of some of the other major broadway musicals, I found the theatre to be quite full, and I think everyone really enjoyed it.

I came across this post and although it is quite old, I wanted to mention to you all that I did find this tour on playbill.com, read the tripadvisor reviews, and then booked the tour. I did the tour a couple weeks ago and in my own opinion, it was as great as the reviews indicate. The guide was very friendly and personable, and he certainly knew his stuff. For people who are interested in the history of broadway, or even the history of the city, I think you'll find this is a good way to spend...

For me, it's The Letter from Billy Elliot. It always gets me choked up.
