Well had a fabulous time!!!
Can I please just say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who posted on here giving me info about rush info/times and everything like that, it has saved us SO much money!!
In addition to the musicals I also saw A Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo but I really can't compare it to everything else since it was so different!! I really enjoyed it and it was fabulous to see one of my all time favourite actors (Robin Williams) live on stage (and to meet him afterwards too, what a lovely person, he was signing and taking photos with everyone). The play itself is very good, it was a very fast play and really kept your attention. Also my first play on Broadway!!
MUSICALS RANKINGS
#1 Book of Mormon - What can I say!! It is sheer perfection. My kind of show! I was totally captivated. This is gonna sweep the Tonys and absolutely must transfer (please Sonia!!!). I completely fell in love with Andrew Rannells from the moment he walked on stage.
#2 How to Succeed - Daniel Radcliffe is real star! I loved his performance, he is just right for the part, so cheeky! Loved the show. Pure traditional BROADWAY!!!
#3 Memphis - My second time seeing this and loved it just as much! Was PACKED! Motego Glover is a stunning performer! Was nice to see Brian on as Huey and see a different interpretation, his performance was as good as Chads! Loved his "Memphis Lives in Me"
#4 Anything Goes - I loved this! I love Sutton Foster as it is and it was great to see her dancing a lot in this show. The dance numbers were wonderful! A very strong supporting cast, particularly Colin Donnell, He has a good chance at the Tony!
TIED#4 American Idiot - Yes I have two number 4's. I can't compare this and Anything Goes they are so different. I enjoyed seeing this again so much, had amazing seats this time (second row!!). The music is great, a shame it is closing
#6 Spiderman - At the end of act one, I thought, whats everyone complaining about... This is GREAT!!! Then act two happened and it wasn't as slick. The flying is spectacular. The score is what I expected but the overall design was stunning. Reminded me a LOT of Lord of the Rings, although I think I liked this more.
#7 Wonderland - Fun fluff. Music was nice enough, the show was nice enough but none of the performers stood out.
#8 Catch Me If You Can - I feel so let down! This is one I was most excited to see and it wasn't good. The music was bland and I just didn't enjoy the show.
Excellent. Total cost for 9 shows - $299!!!!!! Most we paid was $69 for Bengal Tiger after we were some of the only people to lose the lottery! Turns out the seats were unsold premium tickets which can sell for $250!!!
Other tickets:
How to Succeed ($30 Rush, second row!), Wonderland ($32 student rush), Catch me if you can ($27 Student Rush), Book of Mormon ($27 standing), Spiderman ($30 rush), Anything Goes ($30 rush box seats with fab view!), Memphis ($26.50 front row :), American Idiot ($27 Lotto).
