Best Musical: Who Will Take The Other 3 Slots? — Page 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the impression from various sources of word-of-mouth that American Psycho was very well-received in London. I wouldn't have put it as my 5th slot based on what I've heard.

I don't disagree, actually. The one thing holding me back is that London audiences can be fairly different from Broadway audiences sometimes, but I don't doubt that it will be well received here as well. I would actually say that Psycho and Tuck are interchangeable in my list, I could easily see Tuck taking the fifth spot. The only show that I think we can all agree on as being an absolute shoe-in is Hamilton (obviously), the rest of my list (and likely everyone else's) is just early predictions, as many of these shows haven't even opened yet.

WiCkEdRoCkS - that unannounced musical will NOT be in the running. I can tell you that right now.

Mr Roxy said: "Strange thing re the Playbill. At first, I thought the musical numbers were not listed. In leafing thru it, I found the song list in the middle of the bios. Stranger still, the songs were in alphabetical order so you had no idea which song was where. Normally you see what the last song before the intermission is so you can get ready for a mad dash to the john. It would really help at the Marquis where the bathrooms are a nice distance away from the theater itself."

Didn't Rock Of Ages do the same thing??? Don't remember, its been years since I saw it.

As a side note, the second time I saw OYF, I don't think a song list would help, as people were coming and going at all scenes during the first and second acts. Kindda annoying.

ON YOUR FEET entered the millionaire's club this week in it's 3rd week of previews. Lousy book or not, this show could be this years dark horse.

reading the phone book is better than the book for Motown, that was just painful.

The physical production is first rate. You can forget the book as everything else is so strong.

I've only heard great things of On Your Feet. I hope it's the next Mama Mia in terms of a long run. There isn't many latino musicals.. I can only think of In the Heights.. Most shows are all white casts.. you have to at least root for it a little....? I know I do. Can't wait for the cast recording. The main guy is so attractive, i can stair at him all day hahaha

you're talking about amelie? how do you know?

VernonGersch said: "Waitress is in for sure caught it at the ART over the summer and it's a wonderful, smart, crowd pleaser with a gorgeous score."

This pleases me to hear. I intend to buy tickets for May when they become available.

Not AMELIE.

And (if we are talking about the same show) while I agree at the moment, Capn, weirder things have happened...

You never know.

I am guessing it's either Invisible Thread and or Lazarus.

Dear Evan Hansen?

I'm a little late in this thread but:

1. Hamilton (obvi getting in, but I'm just putting it here because it's in 1st place in general)

2. Shuffle Along (if it isn't a revival)

3. American Psycho

4. Waitress

That's been my top 4 for some time now, but here are some others that could come up and sneak a nod.

On Your Feet, School of Rock, Bright Star, Allegiance (maybe?) Tuck Everlasting, and Amelie (if it transfers).
