Broadway musical recs for a London fan

And Hamilton just announced they will mount a production in the UK next year.



The Color Purple is reportedly wonderful. Bright Star is old fashioned and sweet. Or try the new (off broadway, Dear Evan Hansen!)

Color Purple is great. Top notch performances and I cried my eyes out. Much better than the original.



She Loves Me is absolutely endearing and wonderful, but not sure if it would fit the bill if this person is not a fan of musicals. It's a classic musical/love story. the score is very musical theater. If you think your companion would enjoy that, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it!!



What kind of music does this person enjoy? There is so much variety on Broadway now there is something for every taste.



For discounts try theatremania and Broadway box. Between the two of those, you can usually find most shows with a discount floating around. If you know what show you want to see, just google the show's name with "discount code." And if you're not set on a particular show, you could always wait and hit the TKTS booth to see what had the best seats/discount. (However TKTS discounts are from the top price so you can also get cheaper seats ahead of time if you are willing to take seats that aren't very good.)

She Loves Me, Something Rotten!, and The King and I are all super-safe (and super amazing) bets.

If I'm interpreting your situation correctly, I think Something Rotten is simply crying out to you as the perfect choice. If your partner is British, even if he doesn't particularly like musicals he should be blown away by the funny story of Shakespeare's challengers writing a musical. And if you ARE a fan of musicals, all the references will have you rolling in the aisles.
