Posted: 1/31/07 at 1:32pm

Hi everyone!
Please forgive me I have been living under a rock for the past year or so. I will be visiting New York in April.

Anyone have suggestions for shows?

I have seen:
Les Mis
Rent
Wicked
Spelling Bee
Hairspray
Chicago

Other than that I am out of the loop. All suggestions are welcome! Thanks so much!

ladeeda SPRING AWAKENING. do it. GO.

yes, I am incredibly predictable, but no, I will NOT stop promoting it :P

and others that I too am dying to see because they look amazing:
Company
Les Mis revival
A Chorus Line
Drowsey
Grey Gardens

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

^I completely agree.

But just to give you options, also:

Curtains will hopefully still be open.
Pirate Queen opens early in the month.
Legally Blonde begins previews a few days before Pirate Queen opens.
LoveMusik begins previews on the 12th.

I am shocked...SHOCKED...that so many people on this board are recommending Spring Awakening!! Who knew?? :)

Maybe A Chorus Line, but only if you like...well..A Chorus Line.

What’s the problem with promoting a musical that’s, fresh and not you typical multi-million dollar mega-musical?

I never said it's a problem...I was trying to be humorous instead of suggesting it myself (since I knew plenty of others would). I'm tickled pink that everyone is promoting it! It's the most amazing show...best night I've ever had in the theatre, by far.

"Well, for my May trip I'm seeing:

LoveMusik
Curtains
Xanadu (if it opens)
Spring Awakening
Grey Gardens
Company
A Chorus Line
110 in the Shade"

That is what my list would be exactly(minus Xanada if it opens). That's a really nice list.

These are currently my favorites on Broadway:
Grey Gardens
Company
The Drowsy Chaperone

Curtains and 110 in the Shade will be open by April, and they sound pretty good.
