What are your thoughts, and why?
You've gotta have heart AND music

Piazza - beautiful music, great story, fabulous talent.
Streetcar - I haven't seen it and I've heard VERY mixed reviews, but I love the show so much. My English class was going to go see it, but when it got killed in the NY Times, my teacher decided against it (and I'm broke so I can't really see it by myself)...damn.

Posted: 6/19/05 at 1:18amPiazza by far, best thing I've seen in years. I'm hoping to go back up and see it again before it closes. Anyone who hasn't seen it, simply must!

I think I'd say The Light in the Piazza as well.
Just a beautiful show.
I think this is because it isn't tainted by the commercialism that rules Broadway right now.
Lovely music, story, design, and performers.
So, yes, Piazza.

Pillowman.
I've never seen anything like it.
Something is stirring,
Shifting ground...
It's just begun.
Edges are blurring
All around,
And yesterday is done.

I'm definitely thinking about going back to see it again before it closes. It'll be my third time, that's exciting. I haven't yet seen a Broadway show more than twice. Perhaps Piazza will be my first.

Posted: 6/19/05 at 2:03amOkay, I haven't seen Piazza but just there performance on The Tony's makes me wanna disagree with you guys. Anyways, I'm going with Avenue Q. That is a brilliant show.

I'm sorry, I know these are people's own preferences, but DRS is a load of sh*t.
I vote Piazza.
Question: Will Esparza win for The Homecoming?
BobbyBubby: I hope so. If only for the mental health of many people on this board.

Right now I would say Spamalot, with Avenue Q & Spelling Bee closely behind. As far as why, well I guess I like to laugh.
Mind you, this is subject to change next week once I finally see Light in the Piazza.

I still need to see Spamalot and Bee. Drs was funny but not in the same League as Avenue Q or Hairspray.
I loved the Full Monty as much as Q though.
Yazbeck is very talented.

Posted: 6/19/05 at 10:18amI vote RENT. Even after 9 years, it's still as strong as ever.

Corine...... your homework assignment this week is to see the Bee. Please post your essay (or review here), neatly typed & double-spaced.
Spamalot is a great show, but I would wait until Hank Azaria returns & you can see the original cast.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ALL THE WAY!!!
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

For musicals, I would have to say it's a tossup between SpamAlot, DRS, The Producers, and Avenue Q. For jukebox musicals, All Shook Up because I'm an Elvis fan and I liked the story and the songs they used. For plays, Glengarry Glen Ross or The Pillowman.
