i feel like this may be a dumb post, but--
i am a theatre-crazy student who is going to nyc for my 16th birthday [end of june] and need to pick a show to see..
i was considering avenue q but am reluctant and not really into seeing it [i don't know why..even though everyone raves about it]-- i was also looking into seeing 'the drowsy chaperone' but haven't decided yet--
does anyone have any suggestions..
i'm a mature high school student who LOVED dirty rotten scoundrels, wicked, rent, DOUBT, aida, mamma mia, the light in the piazza.
i like to laugh, but don't mind taking a risk on a new-er show [though i would hope it would be great; it will be my birthday and all] and if you have a suggestion, make it a musical please.
so please help!! all suggestions and imput would be appreciated!!

[no disney shows please]

WEll Jersey Boys is fabulous (one of my best friends husband is in it and i say it when it was originally in San Diego,CA and it was great...as was Drowsy Chaperone which i saw at the Ahmnason last november...that one is just really funny. but over spring break i went to NYC and saw Tarzan in previews and if that is playing when you are there....GO...i loved it!!!

Sweeney Todd.
You wont laugh as much as you would seeing Avenue Q...but its a must-see.
One of my personal favorites ...
and this revival is, in my opinion, one of the best on Broadway right now.

Sweeney is a must see. Spelling Bee is great...I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't enjoyed it.

SEE SWEENEY!!!!! It's the best thing I've ever seen in my life.

Drowsy Chaperone is great too (Sutton is wonderful!) but Sweeney trumps all. It's incredible.
