So, my father and my brother are coming to NYC to visit me with their girlfriends and I want to take them to see a show on Broadway...which one should I pick? They are obviously gay friendly, but I doubt they would enjoy a show like La Cage. What would you BWWers recommend me to see with them?
PS: The only Broadway shows they got to see were Wonderful Town and Young Frankenstein and they loved the latter.

Posted: 7/29/10 at 12:31amI'd say Wicked and South Pacific are very much what people would expect out of a musical, traditionally. I very much enjoyed both.

When I heard 'family', I thought of kids...
Can't go wrong with West Side Story.

Posted: 7/29/10 at 3:52amMary Poppins was incredible(I thought) and West Side Story is classic!

Posted: 7/29/10 at 8:23amGiven that they loved Young Frankenstein, maybe they'd like The Addams Family?

Can not go wrong with any of these:
Phantom of the Opera, South Pacific, Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys, West Side Story, Promises, Promises (especially if they are a fan of burt music or mad man)

Posted: 7/29/10 at 1:34pmRock of Ages is another good one if they're into 80s Rock n Roll!
The Best of Times is Now!

Posted: 7/29/10 at 4:11pmWicked would be the top choice for me. but Next to Normal is a close second, though its not really a "family show". I also support the Promises, Promises suggestion, especially if they like Mad Men, KCheno or Sean Hayes.
